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.

Refund Policy

What we guarantee

Every comparable property in your packet is a real record from your county appraisal district. If any comp in your packet is not a genuine county record, email john@revxl.net within 30 days of purchase and you get a full refund.

If we fail to deliver your packet, you get a full refund. No questions.

What we do not guarantee

We do not guarantee the outcome of your protest or hearing. Appraisal Review Board decisions depend on your evidence, your presentation, the panel you draw, and facts about your property we may not have. A strong packet improves your odds. It does not decide the result, and no honest company in this space can promise otherwise.

Because the packet is delivered instantly as a digital document built specifically for your property, we do not offer refunds for change of mind after delivery.

The math we stand behind

Our packets are built from the same county records the appraisal district uses. That is the whole product: real data, organized for your hearing, at a flat price. You keep 100 percent of whatever you save, this year and every year after.

Questions before you buy? Email john@revxl.net and you will get a straight answer, including “the data does not support your case” when that is the truth.
