Sign Up / Add a Property

  (Revised; November 8, 2023)


In 2023, our Legislature with voter approval passed the largest property tax savings laws in Texas history. The changes are as follows:

1) Increasing the homestead exemption from $40,000 to $100,000.
2) Compressing or lowering all ISD school tax rates across the state by 10.7 cents.
3) Putting in place a three (3) year 20% "Circuit Breaker" on all non-homesteaded properties valued at less than 5 million starting in 2024.

All hearings are based on market value, and the time spent filing the protest and preparing for the hearing remains consistent whether the property is capped or non-capped. We charge the greater of:

1) Difference between the noticed and final appraised value times the prior year's tax rate times the contingency fee.
2) $5 for every $1,000 reduction in market value if account is appraised limited or "capped".

**If your property has multiple exemptions, this service may not be cost effective for you as we do not take exemptions into account.

Service Agreement

By submitting this form, I warrant that I am the record owner of the property described above or am otherwise legally authorized by the owner of record to enter into this agreement. I agree with the terms specified herein and retain Advaloremtax.net to represent me at the Appraisal District in the county in which my property is located to protest the assessed value of the property.

Contingency fees are calculated by taking the difference between the Appraised Notice Value and the Final Appraised Value, then multiplying it by the previous year's tax rate, before factoring in exemptions. Market fees are determined by dividing the difference between the initial market and final market value by 1,000 and then multiplying it by $5.00. The fee to be paid will be based on the higher of these two methods. All fees are due upon receipt of the invoice and will be considered delinquent if not settled within 30 days, incurring collection costs and a 1.5% monthly interest rate on any outstanding balance.

Please Note: If your hearing is already scheduled, you MUST contact this office directly by phone to complete your sign-up process. Failure to do so, could result in your account not being worked.

In the event of any material change in the status of my property, I agree to report such changed status to Advaloremtax.net at info@advaloremtax.net or mail to:

Advaloremtax.net
811 Bradford Avenue, Suite 4A
Kemah, Texas 77565-2900

All notifications including but not limited to preliminary value notifications, hearing results, invoices, etc. will be delivered via electronic mail unless the property owner advises Advaloremtax.net otherwise. Properties can be added to this agreement by simply notifying Advaloremtax.net. Removal of properties must be made in writing, via email, fax or U.S. Mail with either party giving 30 days notice. A material change will include any of the following:

 • New mailing address, telephone number or email address.
 • Sale of property or any other change in the status of record ownership of the property
 • Any modification to the property that impacts its value such as change of use, additions/removals and/or structural defects

There will be no charge if the property tax hearing does not lead to property tax savings or a reduction in market value. This agreement exclusively encompasses informal property tax hearings and property tax hearings before the Appraisal Review Board.

Venue for any action brought in connection with this agreement shall be in Harris County, Texas.
