How It Works

Three simple steps to lower your property taxes.

1

Calculate

Enter your property details. Our calculator estimates if you're overpaying based on comparable sales in your area.

2

We Fill It Out

Pay $49 once and we fill out your protest for you: a pre-filled protest form with your data, 5 comparable sales, and county-specific filing instructions. We do 95% of the work, you keep 100% of your savings.

3

You Just File It

Open the PDF, review your data, and submit on your county's website before the deadline. Most homeowners file in under 5 minutes. Average successful appeal saves $500+/year, and you can appeal again every year.

The math on a $49 protest kit

This decision compounds

A successful protest resets your assessed value. In Texas it stays lower until the county reassesses, typically 1-3 years, so one $49 protest kit keeps paying you back.
