There is more that you can do to appeal your appraisal increase.

If a bunch of you want to appeal your property taxes after your formal ARB hearing here is one law firm that will help you and will charge you only if they win. The cost is 50% of what they save you.


Here is the site address for the company and there are property tax codes and Q&A sections that may help you further.

I also quoted that section of appealing your case once you are unhappy with the ARB's ruling. I believe the more of you who take this to court the better your chances of getting the appraisal district to change "its evil ways".

"If you are not satisfied with your Appraisal Review Board (ARB) decision, there is still another appeal step available to you. Even if you already completed a formal hearing with the ARB and achieved a value reduction, you have the right, within 45 days, to file a judicial appeal.

To make sure property owners are taxed on the most fair and accurate value for their property Texas law makes available this final protest step of filing a lawsuit against the county appraisal district. And this step can be much easier and less costly than most owners realize!

Upon mutual agreement, we will engage outside council to file the lawsuit on your behalf, engage expert witness services for research and analysis; then we’ll coordinate and facilitate the entire litigation process for you. There are no upfront costs! You pay only a percentage of savings as defined in our agreement.

We are the only property tax consulting firm in Texas with sufficient technical support and skilled personnel to effectively tackle and win a substantial number of judicial appeals. Property owners choose O’Connor more than any other consultant when an appeal beyond ARB is indicated. We are currently coordinating more than 3,200 cases statewide. And, we’re successful 80-90% of the time.

O’Connor coordinates the entire litigation process 

 

A frequent and effective approach is an appeal based on your property’s value being uniform and equal when compared to similar properties. Our firm developed proprietary software to locate and analyze the values of comparable properties and we’ve been repeatedly successful using this information in informal, formal and judicial protests. In fact, O’Connor is the statewide leader in uniform and equal appeals.
