Serving Titus County Homeowners & Real Estate Investors

If you just opened your Titus County property tax bill and felt that familiar punch to the gut, you're not alone. Mount Pleasant homeowners are calling us daily saying "My taxes went up again, but my house isn't worth what they claim." The truth? Titus Central Appraisal District makes mistakes on roughly 40% of assessments, and most homeowners never challenge them. That's money walking out your door every year.

Why Your Titus County Assessment Is Probably Wrong

Here's what we see constantly in Titus County: A home on South Edwards gets assessed at $185,000 while an identical house two blocks away is valued at $165,000. Same square footage, same year built, same neighborhood. The difference? One homeowner protested, one didn't. The Titus CAD uses automated systems that miss crucial details about your property's actual condition, recent sales comparisons, and market fluctuations that should lower your assessment.

We've handled over 200 Titus County property tax protests in neighborhoods from Cookville to Talco, and the pattern is clear: properties built before 2010 are frequently over-assessed by 15-25% because the CAD's data doesn't reflect actual depreciation, needed repairs, or changing market conditions in rural areas.

The Real Cost of Not Protesting

Let's talk numbers that matter to your budget. If your home is over-assessed by just $20,000 (common in Titus County), you're overpaying roughly $200 annually in taxes. Over ten years, that's $2,000 that should have stayed in your pocket. We recently helped a Winfield homeowner reduce their assessment from $195,000 to $165,000, saving them $300 every year going forward. That's a car payment they got back.

Why Most Homeowners Don't Protest (And Why That's Costing You)

You're thinking "I don't have time to fight City Hall" or "What if I make things worse?" We get it. The Titus County property tax protest process involves deadlines, forms, comparable sales research, and presenting your case to the Appraisal Review Board. Most people would rather pay extra than deal with that headache. That's exactly why we exist – to handle the entire mess while you go about your life.

Here's What We Actually Do For You

You spend five minutes giving us your property details. We spend the next 60 days building your case, researching comparable sales throughout Titus County, identifying assessment errors, filing all paperwork before the May 15th deadline, and presenting your case to the review board. You literally do nothing except wait for your tax savings to arrive. Our licensed professionals know which Mount Pleasant neighborhoods are consistently over-assessed and exactly how to prove it.

The Titus County Advantage

Unlike Harris or Dallas counties where protests are routine, many Titus County homeowners never challenge their assessments. This means the Appraisal Review Board sees fewer cases and tends to approve reasonable protests more readily. We've had particular success with properties in the $150,000-$300,000 range – exactly where most Titus County homes fall. Rural properties near Marshall or Carthage often have the biggest savings potential because comparable sales data is limited and assessors make assumptions.

Your Investment vs. Your Savings

Our fee is 25% of your first-year tax savings, and you only pay if we win. If we save you $400 annually, you pay us $100 once and keep saving $400 every year after. If we don't reduce your taxes, you owe us nothing. Most clients tell us it's the best investment they've made in their home. The average successful Titus County property tax protest saves homeowners $500-$1,200 in the first year alone.

Time Is Running Out

The protest deadline is firm – typically May 15th or 30 days from when you received your notice. Miss it, and you're stuck overpaying for another full year. Every day you wait costs you roughly $1.50 in unnecessary taxes. Start your protest now, and you could be saving money by Christmas. The process begins with a simple property review that takes less time than reading this page.
