Office
With vacancies climbing post-pandemic and flattening rents we’ll ensure that your property reflects this new reality.
Retail
Quality tenants are increasingly harder to find as the retail economy moves online. Vacancies are trending higher. Is your valuation reflecting this changing market?
Industrial
Are you locked into leases that don’t reflect the value of your property? High construction costs applied by TX appraisal districts are pushing values beyond market supported numbers.
Multi-Family
In this inflationary climate, have your tenants been paying in full and on time? Many new developments surrounding existing multi-family complexes are pushing assessment values up artificially.
Land
Pre-income producing properties don’t need to be saddled with unreasonable property taxes. Developers and builders with lot inventory will require speciallized attention in a discounted cash flow model involving considerable market data and analysis researched by our team of seasoned experts.
Specialty
Unique properties often secure high reductions, without comps. Your county likely isn’t basing your value on solid valuation fundamentals and is using inaccurate cost methodolgies.

Case Study: $11,747 Saved in Parker County
This newly built mini-warehouse client was initially overvalued due to high-cost estimates and a high completion percentage assigned by the appraisal district.
Our team interviewed the owner, who uncovered incomplete construction, quality of construction components, limited utility access, and project scope as additional reasons the property was overvalued.
A comprehensive package was presented to the Appraisal Review Board which resulted in a 26% reduction ($638,000).
Building the Case for Your Commercial Property
Commercial properties are often difficult for counties to assess. With few (if any) comp properties, the assessed values can vary wildly. Local governments don’t have the resources to do more than a cursory assessment.
We win appeals by analyzing every unique factor about your property. By applying multiple iterations to both sales and equity data in our analysis, our software achieves the greatest value reductions.
For large multi-state protest companies, that’s where their job ends. At Appraisal Protest, we dig even deeper, considering:
- Deferred maintenance
- High vacancy rates
- Long-term below-market rents
- Poor access or visibility
- Market surplus
- High expense ratios
- Additional factors unique to your property
We arrive at hearings with a well-reasoned case that gets results, and we’ll continue to escalate your case until your county has not offered a reasonable reduction.
