If you're like most San Angelo homeowners, you opened your latest property tax notice and felt that familiar punch to the gut. Another increase. Another year of wondering why your neighbor with the bigger house on Sherwood Way pays less than you do. You're not imagining it β Tom Green County assessments have been climbing faster than home values in many neighborhoods, from the historic districts near downtown to the newer developments off Loop 306.
The truth is, the Tom Green Central Appraisal District processes over 45,000 properties annually, and mistakes happen more often than you'd think. Market data lags, property conditions change, and comparable sales get mismatched. When your home gets tagged with an inflated value, you're stuck paying the difference β often $500 to $2,000 extra per year β unless you know how to fight back.
Here's what most Tom Green County homeowners don't realize: that "small" overassessment compounds every single year. If your home is overvalued by $50,000 (common in areas like Bentwood or Southland), you're overpaying roughly $550 annually at our local tax rate. Over five years, that's $2,750 you'll never see again. The Appeals Review Board approved reductions for thousands of properties last year, but only for homeowners who knew to ask.
The system isn't designed to help you β it's designed to collect maximum revenue. Property owners who stay quiet subsidize those who protest. That's not fair, but it's reality. The good news? You have until May 15th (or 30 days after your notice) to level the playing field.
You're probably thinking the same thing we hear every day: "I don't have time to become a property tax expert." Between work, family, and everything else on your plate, who has hours to research comparable sales, fill out ARB forms, and sit through hearings? The process feels designed to discourage regular homeowners from participating.
That's exactly why we built our service around busy people like you. You spend five minutes giving us your property details. We spend the next several months building your case, filing paperwork, and presenting to the review board. You get updates along the way, but the heavy lifting is completely off your plate.
Our licensed property tax professionals know Tom Green County inside and out. We've successfully protested properties from the golf course homes in Bentwood Country Club to the rural acreage near Christoval. We know which comparable sales the CAD uses, which ones they ignore, and how to present evidence that Appeals Review Board members find compelling.
Every case starts with our detailed property analysis. We pull recent sales data for homes similar to yours, identify assessment errors, and calculate your potential savings. If we find grounds for a reduction, we build a comprehensive case file and handle every step of the formal protest process. Most cases settle during informal review, but we're prepared to present to the ARB if needed.
Our fee is simple: 25% of your first-year tax savings, and only if we win. If your assessment drops by $40,000 (saving you $440 annually), our fee would be $110. You keep $330 this year, plus the full $440 every year going forward. No upfront costs, no hourly fees, no payment unless you save money.
Compare that to the cost of doing nothing. The average successful Tom Green County protest saves homeowners $734 in the first year alone. Over ten years, assuming modest assessment growth, that initial reduction typically saves $8,000 to $12,000. Your one-time fee pays for itself many times over.
The protest deadline isn't negotiable. Miss May 15th, and you're locked into this year's assessment β no exceptions, no extensions. Every day you wait is another day closer to losing your right to appeal. Meanwhile, you're paying the higher amount on every mortgage payment if your taxes are escrowed.
Starting your case takes less time than reading this page. We need your property address, contact information, and permission to represent you. From there, we handle everything while you go back to your normal routine. Most clients forget they even filed a protest until we call with good news about their reduction.
Thousands of your neighbors have already discovered what you're learning right now: property tax protests work, but only if you actually file one. The Appeals Review Board can't help you if they never hear from you. We can't save you money if you don't take the first step.
Your free property analysis takes two minutes and shows you exactly what we found. No obligation, no pressure β just the facts about your assessment and your potential savings. If we can't help, we'll tell you. If we can save you money, we'll show you exactly how much and what it costs.
