Are you overpaying on property tax?

We take on the appraisal district so you don't have to. Our fee is one third of what we save you, with no minimum, and if your value doesn't come down you pay nothing at all.

Your tax bill as assessed $6,000
Your bill after we protest $4,500
You save $1,500
Our fee, one third of the saving $500

Illustrative example, not a projection of your result. If we don't reduce your value, our fee is zero. There's no minimum fee, no filing fee and no per parcel charge.

What we do

Three ways we lower your bill

Commercial

Office, retail, industrial and multifamily. We take on your assessment and fight it through to a decision, so a value that's set too high stops draining you every year.

Residential

Your home is probably your biggest asset, and an inflated assessment raises your bill every year. We challenge it for you and work to get it down.

Business personal property

The equipment, inventory and furniture your business is taxed on. It's appraised on a separate account, and just as often it's set too high.

How it works

Four steps, no upfront cost

01

Free review

Send us your appraisal notice. We evaluate the numbers at no cost and no obligation.

02

We file

If there is a case, we prepare the evidence package and file the protest before your district deadline.

03

We negotiate

We represent you at the informal conference and, if needed, before the appraisal review board.

04

You save

You pay only from what we save you. No reduction means no fee.

Pricing

One third of what we save you. No minimum fee. Nothing at all if we do not win.

Many protest firms in this market charge closer to 40 percent, and add a minimum fee you owe even when your protest fails. We don't have one. If your value doesn't come down, you won't receive a bill.

Hearings you attend None

Under Texas Tax Code §41.47(b) the appraisal review board cannot raise your appraised value because you protested. Your value comes down or it stays where it is.

Why Crawford

District knowledge, and incentives that match yours.

We know the districts
Every appraisal district runs on its own rules, its own calendar and its own people. Knowing how each one works is most of the job, and it's exactly what you're hiring us for.
You risk nothing
Our fee comes only from your reduction, and there's no minimum. If your assessment holds, you owe nothing at all.
We do the work, not you
You hand us the property and we take it from there. Start to finish, it asks about five to ten minutes of your time.
We're in your corner
We answer to you, not the appraisal district. Our job is to get your value down and keep fighting for it year after year.
Who we help

Built for every kind of owner

Commercial owners

Office, retail, industrial and multifamily owners, at any valuation.

Homeowners

Homeowners who want a lower tax bill, not an assessment that keeps climbing.

Realtors and managers

Property managers and agents whose clients need every parcel handled before the window closes.

New buyers

Owners who just purchased and were reassessed above what they actually paid.

Questions

A few things owners ask

Will protesting raise my taxes?

No. Under Texas Tax Code §41.47(b), the review board can't set your value higher than the amount already on your notice as a result of your protest. It comes down, or it stays the same.

When is the deadline?

May 15, or 30 days after your district delivers your Notice of Appraised Value, whichever is later. Appraisal districts typically mail notices in April.

Do I have to attend the hearing?

No. We represent you at the informal conference and before the appraisal review board, so you don't need to take time off or appear.

What if I missed the deadline?

Contact us anyway. A missing homestead exemption can usually be filed late and applied to prior years, and for a substantially over assessed property there may be a late correction available. We'll tell you what can be done for this year and set you up for the next one.

What does it cost?

One third of what we save you. No minimum fee, no filing fee, no per parcel charge. If we don't win a reduction, you pay nothing at all.

How much of my time does it take?

Five to ten minutes. You send us the appraisal notice your county mailed you and confirm a few details about the property. We take it from there.

What if I already filed my own protest?

Reach out. If the window is still open, we can often step in, take it over, and represent you the rest of the way.

Which counties do you serve?

If your property is in Texas, we can file. There is one appraisal district per county and we work all of them. See the counties we serve.
