Commercial Property Tax Services for Texas Operators
Structural audits, evidence-driven valuation modeling, strategic protest representation, binding arbitration under §41A, and multi-year portfolio protection. Contingency-based: you pay nothing unless we reduce your tax burden.
Structural Valuation Audits
Model-level analysis that identifies valuation errors before negotiation begins.
We don't start with the notice value. We start with the district's valuation model: land schedules, depreciation tables, income assumptions, construction classifications, and effective age assignments. We compare every input against independent sources and the district's own records. When the model is wrong, we document exactly where, why, and by how much. This audit becomes the foundation for every argument that follows.
Evidence Development & Valuation Modeling
Income, equity, and market logic built for scrutiny.
Our valuation evidence is built to withstand examination at any level: informal hearing, Appraisal Review Board, binding arbitration, or district court. We develop independent cost approaches using nationally recognized systems like Marshall & Swift, income analyses calibrated to actual market conditions, and equity arguments grounded in the district's own data. Every assumption is documented, every conclusion is supported.
Strategic Protest Representation
Operator-grade communication with the district.
We negotiate from evidence, not emotion. Every conversation with the appraisal district is structured around documented findings. We present clear, organized information designed to create a path toward the right value. Our goal isn't to win arguments. It's to make the correct conclusion obvious to the person across the table.
High-Leverage Resolution (Arbitration & Litigation)
Arbitration or litigation when structural errors require escalation.
When the standard hearing process can't produce a meaningful result, we take the case where it needs to go. For properties appraised at $5 million or less, we file for binding arbitration under Texas Tax Code §41A. For larger assets, we pursue litigation through district court. The strategy is identical in both venues: disciplined evidence, clear presentation, and structural correction that changes the trajectory.
Portfolio-Level Strategy
Multi-year NOI protection using circuit breaker leverage and disciplined valuation posture.
For clients with multiple commercial properties, we develop a coordinated strategy across the entire portfolio. Deep first-year reductions create lower baseline values. The Texas 20% circuit breaker then prevents the district from undoing those reductions in subsequent years. This compounding effect turns single-year wins into multi-year cash flow protection.
Complete Case Management
End-to-end handling of every step, from audit to resolution.
We manage every aspect of the property tax process: reviewing initial notices, filing protests, preparing evidence, attending hearings, filing for arbitration, managing settlement negotiations, and tracking results across tax years. You receive regular updates and clear communication throughout. No paperwork falls through the cracks.
