The Average Homeowner
Overpays $1,847 a Year
in Property Taxes.

Market value is roughly what your home would sell for today. Assessed value is the number your county assigns for tax purposes, which is supposed to track market value but is usually generated by a mass-appraisal formula, not an actual inspection of your home. When the assessed number comes in higher than what your home is really worth, you end up paying tax on value that isn't there.

It depends on your state and county, anywhere from every year to once every several years. Even in years without a full walkthrough reassessment, values often shift because of blanket adjustments applied to an entire neighborhood at once. That's a big reason errors creep in unnoticed: no one looked at your specific property, a formula did.

A comparable, or "comp," is a nearby home similar in size, age, condition, and features that sold recently. Comps are the backbone of most appeals: if similar homes in your area sold for meaningfully less than what your county says your home is worth, that's solid evidence your assessment is too high.

In most counties, the board reviewing your appeal technically has the authority to raise, lower, or leave your assessment unchanged based on the evidence presented, so it's not something we can promise will never happen. In practice, increases are uncommon and generally only happen when the evidence itself points to your property being under-assessed. We only file appeals backed by real comparable-sale evidence, so we don't take on cases we don't believe are genuinely over-assessed. And since our fee only ever comes out of savings, if there's no reduction, you owe us nothing either way.

An informal review is the more common, lower-key path: your evidence is submitted to the assessor's office and reviewed on paper, often without anyone appearing in person. Most cases we handle are resolved this way. A formal hearing is a more involved proceeding in front of a review board, and it's generally only needed when the informal review doesn't resolve things.

You pay us absolutely nothing. Our entire fee is contingency-based. We only get paid when you save money, and if we don't reduce your assessment, you owe us nothing for our work. Separately, some counties charge their own small government filing fee to process an appeal. That's a fee the county charges, not us, and we'll tell you the exact amount for your specific county before anything gets filed.

Our fee is 50% of your first year's tax savings only. If we reduce your annual bill by $2,000, you pay us $1,000 - then you keep the full $2,000 every year after that. The fee is due within 30 days of your official determination notice.

No - everything on your end is 100% remote. We handle the research, evidence, and filing for the informal review. You'll hear from us when we have a result.

We file within 1-2 weeks of you signing up. Results come back within 2-5 months depending on your county. Most cases are resolved through the informal review within 60-90 days of filing, no hearing required on your end.

Just your name, contact info, and property address - all collected in the form below. We'll review your property and call you to walk through the details and next steps. We pull all records, assessment data, and comparable sales from public sources ourselves.

Yes. Once you're a client we refile every year during protest season. Assessments reset annually and values creep back up - annual refiling protects your savings long-term.

If your property is sold before an official determination is issued, this agreement terminates with no fee owed. If a reduction is confirmed before your closing date, the fee remains owed since the savings were already secured.
