Primary Argument

The strongest basis for reduction is unequal appraisal under Tax Code Section 41.41(a)(2).

The subject property—a 113-year-old, 4-unit apartment building in documented fair condition with window air conditioning—is appraised at $154.26/sqft. Meanwhile:

4632 Junius St Same year, lot size, block $119.31/sqft
4609 Junius St 24 yrs newer, same config $140.33/sqft
4637 Worth St 39 years newer $149.68/sqft

The subject is appraised 29.3% higher than an identically-aged neighbor and 9.9% higher than a significantly newer property with the same configuration. This disparity constitutes unequal appraisal.

FAQs

Q1. When is the protest deadline in Texas?

Most Texas homeowners must file by May 15, or 30 days after your Notice of Appraised Value — whichever is later. See our Texas deadline guide for details.

Q2. What happens after I file a protest?

Your county's Appraisal Review Board (ARB) will schedule a hearing. With TaxDrop Pro, a licensed consultant represents you and presents evidence to support a lower value; with TaxDrop One, you present the evidence packet we prepare. Learn about what happens at a hearing.

Q3. How much can I save?

Typical savings range from 5%–20% off your assessed value, depending on how over-assessed your property is. Check our savings guide for details.

Q4. Can TaxDrop protest investment or commercial properties?

Yes. We handle residential, rental, and commercial properties in the Texas counties we serve — including rental properties, apartment complexes, and commercial properties. Licensed consultants protest in 17 counties; TaxDrop One is a $129 packet in 43. Not all 254.

Q5. What does it cost?

TaxDrop Pro is 1% of the assessment reduction in 17 Texas counties. TaxDrop One is $129 per property per tax year, refunded if no reduction. See our pricing page.

Q6. Where can I learn more about protesting in Texas?
