You are purchasing a property specific, data driven, valuation of your property. Our system uses appraisal theory algorithms and current district record data to estimate the tax appraisal value of your property. The report includes a market valuation as well as an unequal strategy valuation. The unequal review is basically a comparison of the tax appraised values of other similar homes in your area. This is a very effective method and the same one the professional tax agents use.

Yes and no. While you have the same access to the appraisal district records that we do, we are able to download the records of all the properties in your county. From there, we apply appraisal theory adjustments to equalize the data in a format that the appraisal district accepts. Same with the market data. Our evidence differs from a Realtor’s CMA as we actually employ appraisal adjustments similar to what the appraisal district does. Of course our valuations target the most comparable properties that also support a reduction in your tax value.

This could happen if you live in a really hot area and the sales are much higher than where your appraised value is being proposed. Don’t worry, just remove that strategy from your presentation. If you are emailing your evidence, you can print-to-PDF just the pages of the report you wish to submit. Same thing if you are attending in person, just print the pages you wish to present. Then in your hearing, you may withdraw that protest by simply stating, “I’d like to withdraw the market protest and hear only unequal.” This is also an effective method if you recently purchased your property for more than the current appraisal value.
