Don't let your Property Taxes go out of control! Appeal your property taxes to manage your property tax assessment. The tax assessors have an impossible task to accurately assess thousands or hundreds of thousands of properties both accurately and equitably. You can appeal that your property tax assessment exceeds market value based on the assessed value of similar properties.


Why are annual property tax appeals necessary? To verify the assessor is not assessing your home: In excess of market value or Higher than similar properties.


Here is an example on why you should opt for an appeal! Tom Green CAD has over-taxed this property at 11501 Northcross Lane by 54%! The house sold for $79,500 in April 2019. Tom Green CAD valued this property at $122,670 for the 2020 property tax year. The owner will pay an extra $1,166 (2.7% tax rate times amount over-valued) in property taxes, just for this year, unless they protest their property taxes or hire a property tax consultant to protest for them. The ďŹ rst step for homeowners is to obtain a homestead for their primary residence. It does not appear the home is the primary residence. They do have their homestead exemption


Tom Green County Appraisal District reports this 1,540 square foot house was built in 1986 and is located on a 435,600 square foot lot. Because the property is more than 25% over-taxed, it qualifies for a substantial error protest if a routine protest was not filed. Even if the owners missed the May 15 protest deadline, they can still file a substantial error protest. In many cases, if they provide the appraisal district with a copy of the closing statement, they will correct the value. Just for filing a form with a copy of the closing statement the owner can save $1,166


Why choose a Property Tax consultant? They file the protest, prepare evidence, and attend the property tax appeal hearing for you You don’t have to file the appeal or attend the hearing
