# AppealMyTax

> AppealMyTax is a nationwide property tax appeal service. We sell a flat $49 do-it-yourself appeal packet (no percentage cut, no contingency, homeowner keeps 100% of savings) and a free over-assessment calculator. Full, statute-cited appeal guides — with the correct form, deadline, appeal board, and step-by-step process — are live for Texas, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, New Jersey, and New York, with every other U.S. state plus DC available as a waitlist page. Texas has the deepest data: we analyzed 4.8 million residential parcels across 14 Texas counties using public county appraisal records and found over 1 million homes assessed above comparable sales in their neighborhood, an estimated $1.5 billion in annual overpayment.
