TEXAS IS OUR MISSION FIELD
We specialize in reducing property tax valuations. We know fighting property taxes on your own can be nerve racking and downright scary. It takes time away from your job and requires a lot of front-end research and preparation to effectively present for the hearings.
BY THE NUMBERS
- Residential Property valuations go up on average 3-10% every year and sometimes more than 20%!
- Sometimes mortgage companies do not notify homeowners of increases.
- Only 1 in 5 property owners take action to lower their annual property bill.
- It can be a complicated process.
- 9 out of 10 renters do not know they have a right to protest on behalf of their landlords.
- 4 out of 5 property owners fail to exert their right to protest property mass appraisals thus paying an increased tax annually.
- Many file their notice to protest but then miss their hearings.
- Only 29% of homeowners who protest on their own succeed.
UNTIL PROPERTY TAXES ARE ELIMINATED, WE WILL PROTEST FOR YOU!
- We file the notice to protest.
- We analyze appraisal district evidence and prepare and submit your own evidence.
- We represent you at both your informal and formal hearings and at arbitration (if necessary).
- We confirm and or/fill all your documents and eligible exemptions.
- We encourage your neighbors to protest too.

WE EDUCATE ELECTED OFFICIALS ON PROPERTY TAX ISSUES
During the off season we meet with state, local, and school board leaders to discuss property tax issues, the need for reform, and reduction in valuations as well as increased exemptions. Every other year we travel to the State Capitol to meet one on one with the Texas Legislature and speak on House and Senate bills affecting property tax. While the "Day at the Capitol" is a critical day, we firmly believe city and school officials need to understand that government needs to be run efficiently and effectively. Property owners should not be burdened where their homes become unaffordable. We fight to keep homeowners in their homes. We believe homeownership is the single greatest asset for generational wealth and family stability.
