re: Texas Property Tax Protest

If you are in Houston, there are several who will do it for about 30% of savings. Make sure your contract is based on actual taxes so you can take advantage of the homestead exemption. I've had more than one of these third party people try to base their fee on the implied taxes before the exemption was applied. I've used 2 or 3 agencies and they've always been able to lower the appraised value. The whole thing is a complete racket.
