Property Tax Reduction Services in Texas

Property taxes should not cause financial hardship. PropertyTaxes.Law provides attorney-backed property tax reduction services — combining exemptions, protests, and appeals — to lower your Texas property tax bill on a no win, no fee basis.

Protest vs. Relief: What's the Difference?

Our property tax reduction services use two independent strategies that often work together. A Property Tax Protest argues that the value of your property is wrong (e.g., "my property isn't worth that much"). Property Tax Relief (exemptions) reduces the taxable amount regardless of value (e.g., "I am a veteran, so I shouldn't be taxed on the full amount"). Many property owners qualify for both — and combining them produces the largest possible reduction. See our Texas property tax protest services to learn about the valuation-challenge side of the equation.

How Our Property Tax Reduction Service Works
1

Free Property Review

We review your appraisal notice, current exemptions, and property record to identify every available reduction opportunity.

2

Exemption Audit

We confirm you're claiming every exemption you qualify for — homestead, over-65, disabled veteran, agricultural, and more.

3

Valuation Challenge

If your assessed value is too high, we build and file a property tax protest using comparable sales and equity evidence.

4

You Pay Only If We Win

Our fee is a percentage of the savings we secure. If we don't reduce your bill, you owe nothing.

Common Texas Exemptions

Exemptions are one half of our property tax reduction service. Here are the most common Texas exemption types we review for every client:

Homestead Exemption

For qualifying residence homesteads, Texas requires school districts to exempt $140,000 of taxable value in 2026. Other taxing units may offer additional local-option exemptions. Eligibility and the homestead appraisal limitation are separate rules; review the Texas Comptroller's residence homestead guidance.

Over 65 & Disabled

Qualifying homeowners who are age 65 or older or disabled may receive an additional $60,000 school-district homestead exemption and may qualify for a school-tax limitation. Eligibility, local-option amounts, and whether exemptions can be combined depend on the taxing unit and the owner's circumstances. See the official Texas exemption guidance.

Disabled Veterans

Qualifying disabled veterans may receive a partial or total exemption under rules that depend on the disability rating, the property, and the specific Tax Code provision. A qualifying veteran with a 100% disability rating or individual-unemployability determination may receive a total residence-homestead exemption. Review the Comptroller's disabled-veteran exemption guidance and forms.

Renewable Energy

Qualifying solar or wind-powered energy devices may receive an exemption for the amount of appraised value arising from the installation or construction of the device. Review the Comptroller's Solar and Wind-Powered Energy Device Exemption Guidelines and Form 50-123.

Charitable Orgs

Property owned and used by qualifying charitable, religious, or youth-development organizations may be fully or partially exempt, subject to organization, ownership, and use requirements. Consult the Comptroller's 2026 Texas Property Tax Exemptions guide for the applicable provisions.

Agricultural (Ag) Exemption

Qualifying agricultural or timber land may receive special appraisal based on productivity rather than market value. This is a special appraisal, not a universal exemption, and eligibility depends on the property's use history and statutory requirements.

CHDOs

Community Housing Development Organizations are eligible for an exemption in Texas. These are organizations that provide apartments for low-income housing. It is administered through TDHCA with the utilization of tax credits in exchange for a Land Use Restriction Agreement to ensure that affordable housing is available for those that qualify for a certain term of years.

Official filing resources: Texas exemption eligibility, application requirements, and deadlines vary by exemption. Before filing, review the Texas Comptroller's Property Tax Exemptions overview, 2026 Property Tax Exemptions guide, and the appraisal-district directory. Residence-homestead applicants should also use the current Form 50-114 and its filing instructions. The local chief appraiser determines whether a property qualifies.

General Filing Timing: Before May 1

The general exemption-application deadline is before May 1 (typically April 30). The applicable deadline and form can differ by exemption, and Texas law permits late applications for some exemptions. Confirm the current requirements in the Texas Comptroller's exemption guide, the applicable form instructions, and your local appraisal district.

Property Tax Reduction FAQs

What are property tax reduction services?

Property tax reduction services combine exemption reviews and value protests to lower a property owner's tax bill. PropertyTaxes.Law provides both — confirming you're claiming every available exemption and challenging your assessed value if it's too high — on a no win, no fee basis.

How much does a property tax reduction service cost?

PropertyTaxes.Law operates on a contingency basis. There is no upfront fee, and our fee is only a percentage of the actual savings we secure. If we don't reduce your bill, you owe nothing.

Can I use exemptions and a protest at the same time?

Yes. Exemptions and protests are independent strategies that work together. An exemption reduces your taxable value by a fixed amount; a protest challenges the underlying assessed value itself. Combining both typically produces the largest total reduction.

What is the deadline to apply for a Texas property tax exemption?

The general deadline for filing a Texas property tax exemption application is before May 1, typically April 30. Exemption-specific rules apply, and some exemptions permit late applications. Review the Texas Comptroller's exemption guidance, the instructions for the form that applies to your exemption, and your local appraisal district's requirements. Eligibility and late-filing relief depend on the exemption and circumstances.

Do I need an attorney for property tax reduction, or can I do it myself?

You can file for exemptions and protests yourself, but a licensed attorney provides legal representation, deeper valuation analysis, and the ability to pursue arbitration or district court if needed — advantages that consultant-only firms cannot offer. See our property tax attorney vs. consultant guide.
