Yes, I know you can do it yourself. I have in the past with mixed success. Don't have time right now. Have two properties I need to protest - one in Dallas co, one in Collin Co.

Recs for a company with a good record of success and reasonable rate structure / fee?

Also Tarrant county. Anyone who takes the board out to lunch, married to or sleeps with.

I will pay good money to advocate for the worthlessness of my property

Also looking.

We've done ours in the past but don't have the time this year. Don't mind paying for a good service that gets results.

My appraised value, while it went up a lot, is still about $50,000 less than what homes in my neighborhood have sold for. So it's hard for me to honestly protest.

I have always sort of had this attitude as well. But I think the whole system is messed up and perhaps constantly protesting and making them change the values might eventually cause a change. It's not like the politicians are ever going to do it on their own.

Have you ever had to actually pay them? As in- have they ever actually saved you money off your actual tax bill or do they just reduce your value for the next year?

So I submitted my protest and they already responded they can't offer a settlement. Can I now hire somebody to take it to the ARB?

I use Ownwell....same deal...referral code. I think it's worth $15 if they end up saving tax dollars and billing. Good service -- only pay if you save tax dollars.

I got 45K knocked off my estimate in Denton county just filing a protest online with no evidence (wrote some verbiage as comments respectfully) and accepted that offer today. Was almost 800K.

Anyone else try their automated negotiating tool? The one thing I will say is that it was fast and painless.

I countered with the number I wanted. They countered that by knocking $3k off of their original proposal and said it was the lowest value they would consider.

Didn't accept it yet. I'm wondering if a paid service is going to beat that.

When folks start getting feedback on their protest, Id be curious to know if you were happy with the firm you chose or not. Thinking ahead to next year.

I just got my results back and the county didn't budge. Not really surprising but still disappointing.

The updated homestead exemption is surely going to have a huge impact on the property tax companies ability to make money in fees this year too.

Did anyone in Collin County have any good results?

Tarrant County

We were able to reduce the value of your property from $X96,246 down to $X77,245; however, this is still above your homestead cap value of $Y99,650.

I got my notice back from propertytax.io as well and no budge by the county. I've used these guys for several years and usually they do a pretty good job. However, this year and last year no movement which is hard to fault them on.
