If you just opened your property tax bill and felt that familiar punch to the gut, you're not alone. Across Wellington, Dodson, and the rest of Collingsworth County, homeowners are staring at tax bills that jumped 8-15% this year while their paychecks stayed flat. The worst part? You're probably paying more than you legally owe. Collingsworth CAD assessments contain errors in roughly 60% of properties, but most homeowners never challenge them because the protest process feels overwhelming and risky.
Here's what most Collingsworth County homeowners don't realize: that "small" overassessment compounds every single year. If your $85,000 home is assessed at $95,000 (happens constantly), you're overpaying about $230 annually at our 2.3% effective rate. Over ten years, that's $2,300 you'll never see again. Meanwhile, your neighbor who protested last year is saving that money every year going forward. The system rewards those who know how to work it - and punishes those who don't.
The Collingsworth CAD uses mass appraisal software that can't account for your property's specific issues. That foundation crack, outdated electrical, or proximity to the railroad tracks? The computer doesn't know. It just sees square footage and assumes your home matches the "perfect" comparable down the street. Add in the pressure to increase revenue, and you get systematic over-assessment. The good news? The Appeals Review Board corrects these errors when presented with proper evidence - which is exactly what we provide.
Most property tax consultants throw together a basic protest and hope for the best. We dig deeper. Our licensed professionals analyze comparable sales within a 2-mile radius, identify specific property defects that reduce value, and present evidence the Appeals Review Board can't ignore. We know which board members respond to market data versus property condition arguments. We know the CAD's common mistakes. Most importantly, we know how to get results in Collingsworth County specifically.
You spend five minutes providing basic property information. We spend the next 60 days building your case, filing paperwork, and presenting to the board. You get updates along the way, but there's nothing for you to do except wait for your savings. No taking time off work, no stressful confrontations, no learning complex tax law. We handle everything while you go about your life. When it's over, you either save money or owe us nothing.
Collingsworth County protest deadlines are strict - typically May 15th or 30 days from your notice date. Miss it, and you're stuck overpaying for another full year. Every day you wait is money out of your pocket. The homeowners who save the most are those who act quickly, giving us maximum time to build the strongest possible case. Don't let another year of overpayment slip by because you waited too long to decide.

The McLean investor who reduced taxes on three properties by a combined $1,400. They all started exactly where you are now - frustrated, skeptical, but tired of overpaying. The difference is they took action.
