Our Comprehensive Protest Process

We've streamlined the property tax protest process to make it as effortless as possible for our clients. Here's what you can expect when you work with Texas PTC:

April 15th - Notice of Appraised Values Released

The appraisal district begins sending out notices of appraised values. These notices show the value they've assigned to your property for the current tax year. This value determines your property tax bill.

What We Do: We immediately begin analyzing your property's value compared to similar properties in your area and gather evidence to support a lower valuation.

May 15th - Protest Filing Deadline

This is the standard deadline for most Texas properties to file a protest. Don't worry – when you sign up with Texas PTC before this date, we ensure your protest is filed properly and on time.

Note: While there are some exceptions for late-noticed properties, we recommend signing up before this deadline to ensure the best possible outcome.
What We Do: We file your protest with all necessary documentation and begin preparing your case.

May 25th - Evidence Submission Deadline

This is our internal deadline for collecting and organizing evidence. We use this evidence to build a strong case for reducing your property's assessed value.

What You Can Do: Upload any relevant property condition photos or documentation to our secure client portal. This might include:
  • Recent repair estimates or invoices
  • Photos of property condition issues
  • Recent appraisals or sales documents
  • Any other relevant property information

Early June - Informal Negotiations

During this phase, we engage in discussions with the appraisal district to negotiate a lower value for your property. Many cases are successfully resolved during these informal negotiations.

What We Do:
  • Present compelling evidence for a value reduction
  • Negotiate with appraisal district staff
  • Analyze settlement offers
  • Determine if formal hearings would be beneficial

Mid to Late June - Appraisal Review Board Hearings

If informal negotiations don't yield satisfactory results, we present your case to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). This is a formal hearing where we argue for a lower value.

What We Do:
  • Prepare a comprehensive presentation of your case
  • Present evidence and arguments to the ARB
  • Cross-examine the appraisal district's evidence
  • Fight for the lowest possible value

Early July - Results and Savings Analysis

By this time, all protests are typically resolved, either through informal settlements or ARB decisions. We provide you with a detailed report of the results and your projected tax savings.

What We Do:
  • Calculate your projected tax savings
  • Provide detailed results of your protest
  • Explain any appeal options if applicable
  • Begin preparing for next year's protest season

There are no upfront or hidden fees, and we only charge if we successfully reduce the tax bill.

Our fee is 50% of the savings we secure for properties valued under $1,500,000. For properties valued at $1,500,000 or higher, our fee is 40% of the savings. If a property's value crosses the $1,500,000 threshold, we calculate our fee using both rates - 50% of savings on the portion below $1,500,000 and 40% on the portion above.

There is no fee unless we save you money!
