If you just opened your Maverick County property tax bill and felt that familiar punch to the gut, you're not alone. Eagle Pass homeowners are seeing bills jump $400-800 this year alone, while property values in areas like Rosita Valley and Elm Creek haven't actually increased that much. The truth? Maverick County's rapid assessment increases often outpace real market conditions, and the CAD knows most homeowners won't challenge them.
Here's what most Eagle Pass residents don't realize: your property assessment isn't set in stone. The Maverick County Appraisal District processes over 28,000 properties annually, and their mass appraisal system frequently gets individual properties wrong. Maybe they missed your home's foundation issues, used outdated comparable sales, or incorrectly calculated your square footage. These "small" errors cost you real money every single month.
Smart homeowners across Eagle Pass, Quemado, and El Indio have discovered something the county doesn't advertise: you have the legal right to challenge your assessment, and the Appeals Review Board approves reductions in 73% of properly presented cases. The problem isn't whether you can win β it's that most people don't know how to build a compelling case or navigate the CAD's bureaucratic maze.
That's where the frustration really kicks in. You know you're probably overpaying, but who has time to research comparable sales, analyze market trends, and prepare formal documentation? Between work and family, the last thing you need is another complex project with government deadlines. Meanwhile, every month you wait costs you money.
Consider this: if your home is overassessed by just $15,000 (common in Maverick County's current market), you're overpaying roughly $315 annually at our 2.1% effective tax rate. Over five years, that's $1,575 you'll never get back. For many Eagle Pass homeowners dealing with overassessments of $25,000-50,000, the numbers become truly painful β we're talking $500-1,000 in unnecessary taxes every single year.
The deadline pressure makes it worse. You have exactly 30 days from when your notice was mailed (typically by May 15th) to file your protest. Miss that window, and you're locked into paying the inflated amount for an entire year. No exceptions, no extensions, no second chances until next May.
We've built our entire process around one simple truth: you shouldn't have to become a property tax expert to stop overpaying. Our licensed professionals handle every aspect of your Maverick County property tax protest while you go about your normal life. We research comparable properties, identify assessment errors, prepare all documentation, and present your case to the review board.
The risk factor that stops most homeowners? Completely eliminated. You pay nothing upfront, nothing during the process, and nothing if we don't successfully reduce your taxes. Our 25% contingency fee only comes from money we actually save you β meaning you keep 75% of every dollar we recover. If your taxes don't go down, you owe us exactly zero.
Your five-minute property review takes less time than reading this page. We'll analyze your assessment against recent Eagle Pass sales data, identify potential overvaluation, and show you exactly how much you could save. Most homeowners are surprised to discover they've been overpaying for years β don't let that be you for another tax cycle.

The deadline to file a property tax protest in Maverick County is May 15th or 30 days after receiving your appraisal notice, whichever is later.

A successful property tax protest reduces your assessed value, directly lowering your annual tax bill for that year and potentially future years.

The Maverick County Appraisal District will issue a corrected notice showing your new, lower assessed value and reduced tax liability.
