How It Works

1

Check Your Property (Free)

Enter your address. We compare your assessment to similar homes using real HCAD data — instantly.

2

Get Your Evidence Packet ($79)

If you're over-assessed, get comparable properties and a step-by-step filing guide. One flat fee, not a percentage.

File Your Own Protest

File online via iFile in under 15 minutes. You keep 100% of what you save.

What if my property is fairly assessed?

We'll tell you. If your assessment is in line with comparable homes, we'll show you that — and explain why a protest may not be worth filing this year. No hard sell. No hidden fee.

Common Questions

What's in the evidence packet?

You get a PDF with 3–5 comparable properties in your neighborhood that have lower $/sqft assessments — the same equity comparison approach used in formal hearings.

It also includes a pre-written protest reason ready to paste into iFile, a step-by-step filing guide with screenshots, and an iSettle & hearing walkthrough so you know exactly what to expect.

Do I have to go to a hearing?

Most protests settle through iSettleHCAD's automated online system — without any hearing at all. HCAD emails you a counter-offer, and you can accept or decline from your computer.

If you do go to a hearing, it's a 15-minute videoconference (via Cisco WebEx) with a 3-person panel, not a courtroom. Your evidence packet has everything you need to present.

What's the deadline to file?

May 15 (or 30 days after your Notice of Appraised Value, whichever is later). Notices typically mail in mid-April. Filing online via iFile takes under 15 minutes.

How is this different from hiring a consultant?

Consultants charge 25–50% of your savings — every year. On a typical $471 annual savings, that's $118–$236. Our evidence packet is a one-time $79 flat fee, and you keep 100% of what you save.

We also show you your assessment data before you pay anything. Most consultants require signup before sharing any analysis.

What if I'm not satisfied with the evidence packet?

We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee. If the evidence packet doesn't meet your expectations, contact us for a full refund — no questions asked.

Where does this data come from?

All property data comes from the Texas Appraisal District (CAD) 2025 Certified Values — the same public records appraisers and tax consultants use. Protest-related counts come from publicly available CAD filing and hearing datasets, where those outputs are available.

What if my assessment doesn't change next year?

If your property's assessed value doesn't increase next year, your evidence packet data rolls forward at no additional cost — you can reuse it for next year's protest. We'll email you when new appraisal values are published so you can check if a new packet is needed.
