Property Tax Services

Attorney-led Texas property tax protests, appeal reviews, exemption guidance, and commercial valuation support.

PropertyTaxes.Law provides attorney-supported property tax protest, appeal and relief services for residential, commercial and industrial property owners in counties across Texas. Review our Locations directory for currently featured county guides, or contact us to confirm service availability for a specific property.

Property Tax Protests

We review the appraisal district's valuation, assemble relevant evidence, and present supported overvaluation or unequal appraisal arguments during the protest process. A reduction depends on the facts and the decision reached.

Texas Property Tax Protest Services

Property Tax Appeals

After a written appraisal review board (ARB) order, we evaluate whether regular binding arbitration, a qualifying SOAH appeal, or a district court petition is available and worthwhile. Each route has its own eligibility, filing deadline, and costs.

Texas Property Tax Appeal Services

Property Tax Exemptions

We review property use and ownership for potentially applicable exemptions, special appraisals, and other relief, then explain the filing requirements and local records needed. Eligibility and savings depend on the property and taxing units.

Property Tax Reduction Services in Texas

Litigation Support

When a post-ARB dispute warrants district court review, we assess the valuation evidence, procedural requirements, likely costs, and potential tax savings before recommending litigation. Property value alone does not determine the best route.

Review Post-ARB Options

PropertyTaxes.Law reviews commercial valuations and protest options for owners, investors, and portfolios across Texas. Our team can assess property records, comparable sales, income and expense evidence, and whether a post-ARB appeal merits legal review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get help with my property taxes in Texas?

Start with your county appraisal district for account, exemption, and protest records, and the county tax assessor-collector for billing or payment questions. For representation, PropertyTaxes.Law can review your Texas property for a valuation protest, available relief, or a qualifying appeal. Request a property review to discuss the appropriate service.

What does a property tax consultant do?

A property tax consultant may review appraisal records, comparable properties, and supporting evidence, then help an authorized owner present a protest to the appraisal review board (ARB). The scope depends on the engagement and the stage of the case. See our attorney versus consultant comparison for representation differences.

What is the difference between a Texas property tax protest and an appeal?

A protest is the initial challenge typically heard by the ARB. An appeal follows a written ARB order and may involve regular binding arbitration, a qualifying SOAH proceeding, or district court, depending on the dispute and eligibility. Read our post-ARB appeal service overview for the available routes.

How do property tax appeal services work after an ARB decision?

We review the written ARB order, disputed value, evidence, deadlines, expected savings, and likely costs before recommending a route. The next step may be settlement discussions, regular binding arbitration, a qualifying SOAH appeal, or a district court petition. An appeal is not automatically available or economical for every property.

What evidence helps a Texas property tax protest?

Useful evidence depends on the issue and asset. It may include comparable sales, photos and repair estimates, appraisal-record errors, income and expense records for commercial property, or comparable assessments for an unequal appraisal claim. Ask the appraisal district for its evidence and organize yours around the specific value you are challenging. See the Texas protest guide.

When should I ask for property tax protest or appeal help?

Review the appraisal notice promptly. In most Texas cases, the initial protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the notice of appraised value is delivered, whichever is later; exceptions exist. Post-ARB routes have separate, often short deadlines. Confirm the date on your notice and the Texas Comptroller's official guidance before filing.

How much do property tax protest and appeal services cost?

Fees depend on the property, service, and engagement agreement. A protest may use a contingency fee tied to savings, while arbitration, SOAH proceedings, and litigation can involve separate filing fees, deposits, or legal costs. Ask for the written fee calculation, who pays expenses, and what is owed if no reduction is achieved. Our cost and value guide explains what to compare.

Which property types can you review?

We assess residential, high-value residential, commercial, industrial, and business personal property matters, subject to the facts and service availability. Different assets call for different evidence and relief options. Browse the property-type directory or county guides for more detail.
