How It Works
A Simple, Evidence-Based Process
Property tax appeals don't require lawyers or complicated strategies. They require clear evidence that your home is assessed higher than similar properties. Tax Appeal Center automates that process and stops when the numbers don't justify an appeal.
Step 1: Enter Your Property Address
Start by entering your home address. We pull publicly available property and assessment data, including:
- Assessed value
- Square footage
- Year built
- Property characteristics used by your local appraisal district
We do not require phone numbers, accounts, or commitments to check eligibility.
Step 2: We Run the Math
We analyze your property using the same logic appraisal districts use — but applied objectively.
Specifically, we:
- Identify recent comparable properties in your area
- Normalize values using price-per-square-foot and relevant adjustments
- Compare your assessment against similar homes taxed at lower values
This is a numbers-only analysis. No assumptions. No persuasion. No advocacy.
Step 3: You See the Result Before You Pay
If the data does not support a strong appeal:
- We tell you plainly
- You are not charged
- We recommend not filing
If the data does support an appeal:
- We show you estimated annual savings
- We preview comparable properties
- You decide whether to proceed
We believe this decision should be made with the numbers visible, not behind a paywall.
Step 4: Unlock Your Evidence Packet (Optional)
If you choose to proceed, you can purchase a one-time, professionally formatted evidence packet.
Your packet includes:
- Comparable property analysis
- Clear valuation calculations
- Supporting tables and summaries
- County-specific formatting where applicable
The packet is designed to be:
- Printed
- Uploaded
- Or presented at an informal hearing
You file the appeal yourself with your local appraisal district.
What We Do — and Don't Do
What We Do
- ✓ Analyze public assessment and sales data
- ✓ Apply consistent, evidence-based valuation logic
- ✓ Prepare documentation in a clean, professional format
What We Don't Do
- ✗ File appeals on your behalf
- ✗ Provide legal representation
- ✗ Guarantee outcomes
- ✗ Pressure you to appeal when the numbers don't support it
Tax Appeal Center is not a law firm.
We provide data and documentation — nothing more, nothing less.
Why We Stop When the Numbers Don't Support an Appeal
Filing weak appeals:
- Wastes your time
- Creates false expectations
- Can complicate future assessments
We only recommend filing when there is a clear, defensible discrepancy.
Sometimes the best result is confirmation that your assessment is already fair.
Timing Matters
Property tax appeal rules vary by county and state.
That means:
- Deadlines are strict
- Evidence requirements differ
- Outcomes depend on local appraisal practices
We surface relevant timing information when available, but you are responsible for filing before your local deadline.
Prefer to Monitor Instead?
If your property is fairly assessed today, conditions may change.
Optional annual monitoring allows us to:
- Track new assessments
- Re-check comparable properties
- Notify you only if an appeal becomes worthwhile
There's no obligation to act and no alerts unless the math supports it.
