No forms to mail. No county offices to call. Flat $89 fee — no percentage cuts. You sign it, we do the rest.
Collin County publishes every protest as open data. In 2025, 9,731 of 13,910 owner-filed homestead protests ended with a lower market value than the county first noticed. On taxable value — what actually moves a tax bill — the figure is 44%, because the 10% homestead cap can hold taxes flat even when market value falls.
A peer-reviewed study of Dallas Central Appraisal District records found homeowners who filed their own protest succeeded 69.7% of the time, with average first-year savings of $485 on a successful protest.
Across all 67 Florida counties in tax year 2024, boards reduced 32,216 of the 65,437 petitions they decided, taking $6.0 billion in taxable value off the rolls. In Miami-Dade the rate was 62%.
We automatically pull your county appraisal value, property details, and recent comparable sales from public records — no manual data entry needed.
Our system drafts a formal protest letter with real comparable sales, market condition analysis, and state-specific legal citations tailored to your county.
We send your dispute via USPS certified mail to the correct appraisal district. You receive the tracking number as official proof of submission.
vs. the other guys
Most property tax services charge 25–50% of whatever you save. On a $2,000 win, that's up to $1,000 gone before it ever reaches you. We charge a flat $89 — your savings are yours, every dollar.
Your dispute is submitted via certified letter to the correct appraisal district — no action needed on your end after checkout.
Official USPS proof of submission emailed directly to you. Keep it as your legal record.
We search recent transactions in your ZIP code to build a data-backed argument for a lower valuation.
Every letter references the exact statute for your state — Texas Tax Code §41.43, O.C.G.A. §48-5-311, or Florida Statute §194.011.
Your filing requests a 20% reduction from your current assessed value — the strongest defensible position supported by market data. The request is made in your name; your county decides it.

TaxAppeal USA is a self-service document-preparation and mail filing service. In every state we serve, including Florida, we are not property tax consultants, agents, or representatives, we do not provide tax or legal advice, and we do not represent customers before any appraisal district, board of equalization, value adjustment board, or review board. Every protest and petition is prepared for the property owner, signed by the owner, and filed in the owner’s name. In Florida we also pay your county’s Value Adjustment Board filing fee on your behalf and mail your petition to the Clerk of the Value Adjustment Board. Your petition is signed by you as the property owner under section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes. TaxAppeal USA does not sign as your representative, does not appear before the Board, and does not present evidence or argument at a hearing.
