Your Property Is Not Just a Number
Some things are better left to the experts. Appraisal Protest takes the time to build a detailed case for each property we represent. This approach takes more time and resources, but this proven method delivers market-leading reductions.
Bigger, multi-state protest companies use your property as one small piece of leverage to bundle with hundreds or thousands of others. Then they cut a deal with the county – you save a little, and all those small commissions add up to a big payday for everyone but you.
Here’s how the numbers stack up in Texas’ second most populated county, Dallas. Appraisal Protest charges more than companies that let the software do all the work, but you save substantially more.
The most eye-opening thing about these numbers? The results say that compared to the large, multi-state, venture-capital-backed protest company Ownwell, you’re better off going it alone. It turns out that most people fight for their own property harder than an algorithm.

Commercial Property Valuations Are Complex
Commercial properties are often difficult for counties to assess. The assessed values can vary wildly with few (if any) comp properties. 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 factors unique to your property such as: deferred maintenance, vacancy rates, long-term leases at below-market rents, market surplus, and additional factors unique to your property.
There are cheaper, more automated options for protesting your property tax, but they simply can’t secure the reductions that our experienced team consistently delivers.

Are Residential Protests Worth the Hassle?
About 8.5% of Texas households protest their property tax on their own. Roughly half are successful — that’s a lot of work and stress for a coin flip.
We win our protests over 80% of the time and can secure a reduction far greater than if you do it yourself.
Our model of individualized protests for each property is more work than the automated bulk protests from bigger national firms, but we’re committed to it. Effective protests in Texas require that we put the work in, and if your protest escalates to a hearing, we show up and fight on your behalf.
The proof is in the numbers. We consistently outperform Ownwell, other protest appraisal companies, and investors who self-protest.
