How This Works

Property taxes are calculated by applying the local tax rate to your property's "assessed value," as determined by your county assessor or appraisal district, not to the tax bill itself directly. The only way to reduce your property tax bill is to reduce this assessed value. When this agreement refers to a "reduction," "savings," or a "favorable determination," it means a reduction in your property's assessed value obtained through the informal review process described below; your actual tax bill is then recalculated automatically by your local taxing authority using that lower assessed value at the applicable tax rate. If your assessed value is reduced, your tax bill goes down; the fee described in this agreement is based on that resulting reduction.

Authorization to Represent

I, the undersigned, hereby certify that I am the owner of record, or am legally authorized to act on behalf of the owner of record, of the property identified in this application. I hereby authorize BD Property Solutions LLC ("Representative") to act as my authorized agent and representative in connection with the informal review and protest of the assessed value of the above-identified property before the applicable county assessor, appraisal district, or other initial reviewing authority, for the tax year identified in this enrollment.

This authorization includes the right to: obtain property records, assessment data, and tax history; prepare and submit the informal protest or appeal filing; present evidence and arguments at the informal review stage; and negotiate an informal settlement or determination on my behalf.

Case Evaluation. Representative will evaluate the property and available evidence to determine whether a reasonable basis exists to pursue a reduction in assessed value. Representative retains sole discretion to decline to file a protest, or to withdraw from a protest already filed, if Representative determines in good faith that there is not a reasonable likelihood of a favorable outcome. If Representative declines to proceed or withdraws for this reason, I will be notified, and I owe no fee for that portion of work.

Scope Limitation: Informal Stage Only. Representative's authority and services under this agreement are limited to the informal review stage of the property tax appeal process: preparing and submitting the initial protest filing and supporting evidence, and receiving the reviewing authority's determination. Representative does not represent me and is not authorized to appear at any formal hearing, Board of Equalization, Board of Review, Appraisal Review Board, Assessment Appeals Commission, or other formal or contested-case proceeding. If the informal review results in a favorable determination (a reduction in assessed value), the engagement is considered successfully completed. If the informal review results in an unfavorable determination (no reduction), Representative's engagement ends at that point and Representative will not pursue the matter further. I understand and agree that if I wish to escalate an unfavorable informal determination to a formal hearing or contested proceeding, I must do so on my own behalf or retain separate representation (such as an attorney, where required by state law), and Representative has no further obligation or involvement in that process.

This authorization remains in effect until revoked in writing by me, or until the informal review determination is issued, whichever occurs first.

If the subject property is co-owned, the undersigned represents that they are authorized to execute this authorization on behalf of all co-owners, or acknowledges that additional co-owner authorization may be separately required by the applicable county authority, which BD Property Solutions LLC will facilitate if needed.

If the subject property is owned by an entity (LLC, corporation, trust, or estate), the undersigned represents that they hold a title or role with authority to bind the entity and authorize this representation.

Contingency Fee Agreement

I agree to pay BD Property Solutions LLC a contingency fee equal to fifty percent (50%) of the first year's tax savings resulting from a favorable informal review determination. "Savings" is defined as the reduction in annual property tax liability attributable to the reduction in assessed value obtained through the informal review process, calculated using the applicable tax rate at the time of the determination.

No fee is owed if the informal review does not result in a reduction in assessed value. No fee is owed, and Representative provides no further services, if the matter would require escalation to a formal hearing or contested proceeding beyond the informal stage. Per the Scope Limitation above, that outcome is treated the same as an unfavorable determination.

This fee is due and payable within thirty (30) days of receipt of the official notice of value determination confirming a reduction in assessed value obtained at the informal stage.

If the subject property is sold or transferred prior to the issuance of an official value determination, this agreement shall terminate and no fee shall be owed. If an official determination reducing the assessed value has been issued prior to the date of sale or transfer, the fee described herein remains due and payable.

This agreement is governed by the laws of the state in which the subject property is located.
