What is a property tax appeal?

A property tax appeal (also called a protest in Texas) is a formal process where you challenge your county appraiser's assessed value of your home. You file with the county Appraisal Review Board (ARB), present comparable-sales evidence that your home is overvalued, and the board issues a ruling.

When is the Texas property tax appeal deadline?

In Texas, the deadline to file a property tax protest is May 15 each year (or 30 days after your appraisal notice is mailed, whichever is later). The 2026 deadline has passed; the next protest window is April-May 2027.

How much can I save by appealing my property taxes?

Homeowners who appeal save an average of $774 per year in Texas, and you can protest again every year. Success rates range from 80-91% when you bring 3-5 comparable sales as evidence.

What's the difference between AppealMyTax and Ownwell?

AppealMyTax charges a flat $99, one time, for a complete personalized appeal packet you file yourself. You keep 100% of your savings every year. Ownwell keeps a 25-35% contingency on whatever you save and O'Connor keeps about half, meaning a $2,461 reduction costs you roughly $615-$1,230 every year forever. We charge $99 once and keep nothing.

For mortgage loan officers · Texas

Stay top of mind with every borrower, and find the ones overpaying on property tax.

A monthly home report, branded to you, that lands in your past borrowers’ inboxes automatically. It shows each client what their home is worth and, unlike every other home-value report, flags when they’re over-assessed and overpaying on property taxes. That’s a real reason for them to call you back, the kind that turns into refis and referrals.

flat, no setup, no per-client fees

Same monthly-report retention play the big tools sell, less than half the price, with a property-tax angle they don’t have. No employees, no overhead, the savings go to you.

The hook nobody else has

It finds real money for your client

Generic home-value reports say “your value went up,” which clients ignore. Yours says “your home is assessed 18% above comparable homes, you may be overpaying $1,300 a year.” That gets opened, gets replied to, and gives you a warm, helpful reason to be the one who tells them.

On autopilot

Set it once, it runs every month

Hand over your past-client list once. Every month we re-check every home against current county records and email each client a fresh report with your name, photo, and contact on it. You stay in front of your whole book without lifting a finger.

This engine already works. It powers appealmytax.dev, where Texas homeowners check their property-tax over-assessment every day, built on 4.6 million homes across the major county appraisal rolls. Real comps you and your client can verify, no fabricated numbers. And because this is a flat software subscription you pay, not a referral fee or a thing of value tied to closings, there is nothing to disclose and nothing that touches RESPA Section 8. It is a marketing tool you own, like any other.
