Texas Residential Property Tax
Consulting
While the Houston Metro effective ad valorem tax
rate fell to it’s lowest in several years, property values increased
almost 10% over last year, leaving thousands of homeowners wondering where
their promised “tax cut” figured into their tax bill. Texas homeowners are allowed to protest
their market value each year, and fight for a fair and equitable value. Every property has value, but it’s
up to you to ensure that the Appraisal District values it fairly and
accurately.

Real Property:
As Texas is an annual reappraisal state, the
Appraisal District re-assesses property each year. Any improvement additions or retirements
need to be addressed, as well as any construction-in-progress. The State of Texas provides an exemption
for qualifying pollution-control capital investments that may help reduce the
market value.
Business Personal Property:
Texas enacted penalties for the failure to file
annual business personal property tax renditions. If a business fails to render, a 10%
penalty is automatically applied to the tax bill. Additionally, a 50% penalty can be
assessed.
If you have any questions regarding the above
property tax issues or would like more information regarding this firm, please
contact us.
We pride ourselves in taking an ethical and
educated approach to resolving assessment issues.
