You benefit from the Property Tax Protection Program for a variety of reasons
All practical efforts are made each and every year to reduce your property taxes for all your accounts (if more than 1).
There is never a fee unless we reduce your property taxes. We do not have a flat fee (unless the client seeks that fee format which is unusual). We do not charge for “cap cuts” or “market value cuts”. We will NEVER send an invoice unless we have reduced your
property taxes. Some years are good – typically 6 to 7 out of 10 will result in tax reduction for you.
The other 3 to 4 years out of 10 we strike out. Most often due to people issues in the hearing process. Some years we get an easy appraiser at the informal; some years someone who is impossible to settle with. Same for the Appraisal Review Board; some years include reasonable people willing to consider the evidence. Other ARBs vote for the appraisal district 99% of the time (really).
It is not possible to predict in advance which years will be successful based on an increase in value or some other factor. The primary determinant of success is the people factor at the informal hearing and the ARB.
Each year we reach out to you for pictures and other evidence. It can be provided via the client portal (www.CutMyTaxes.com ) or by email to: Proptax@poconnor.com (be sure to include property address).
