Why protest at all?
Most Texas owners overpay, because the CAD doesn’t know your house.
Texas property values jumped substantially over recent years, and the County Appraisal Districts (CADs) raised assessments in lockstep. Most owners overpay because the CAD’s mass-appraisal model doesn’t know your roof needs work, your foundation shifted, or that the comp it used three blocks over sold under duress.
Every Texas property owner has the right to file a protest under Tex. Tax Code Ch. 41. The deadline is May 15 (or 30 days after your Notice of Appraised Value arrives, whichever is later). Getting in early means we have months to build your case before the window even opens, and we file the moment it does.
How we build your case
You will know exactly why your taxes are too high. So will the county.
Most services hand you an outcome and never show their work. We do the opposite. Here is the exact analysis we build, in the order we build it, so you can see the reasoning. You understand why; most firms never explain it.
We pull your comparable neighbors
We find homes near yours in the same appraisal-district neighborhood: similar size, age, and type. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so there are no public sale prices. We use the county’s own assessed values, the same records the appraisal district uses against you.
Real CAD assessed valuesWe compute the statutory median
We rank those comparable parcels by how close they are to your home, then take the median assessed value per square foot across the set. That median is your equal-and-uniform value under Tex. Tax Code § 41.43(b)(3): what a fair, uniform assessment supports.
Equal-and-uniform medianWe show how far over you are
If your assessment sits above that median, the gap is your over-assessment. We show it in plain numbers: your value per square foot, the neighborhood median, and the reduction a uniform assessment supports. If you are at or below the median, we tell you that too and we will not file a weak claim.
Your over-assessment, in plain numbersYou see the reasoning, not just a number
We show you the comparable parcels behind your estimate, why each one was included, the median math, and the value a uniform assessment supports. No black box: you understand exactly why we think your assessment is too high before you ever decide to hire us.
Transparent comps-based reasoning
Illustrative figures only, to show the method. They are not a real property and not a promised outcome. Your own numbers come from your appraisal-district record and the comparable parcels around you. The appraisal district makes the final call; if your home is already at or below its neighborhood median, we tell you and you owe nothing.

We will email you an illustrative example showing how the comparable-parcel method works, with the median math worked out. It is an example of the method, not a quote on your home.
The full play
Start to finish, every protest season.
- You sign up, free.About 90 seconds. Address lookup auto-fills your CAD record. No card, no commitment. You’re in line the second you’re in.
- We assess and hand you your final estimate.Our experts pull the record and run the comps and equal-and-uniform analysis, then give you the real number. You see exactly what we think we can save you on your bill before you commit a dime.
- You e-sign your engagement + designate us as your agent.Like the number? Lock it in. Texas Comptroller Form 50-162, e-signed right in the flow, per Tex. Tax Code § 1.111. We file your Notice of Protest the moment the window opens, on both grounds: over market value AND equal and uniform.
- Informal review.Our senior consultant meets the CAD appraiser one-on-one. Most cases settle here (~70%). You get a settlement decision in writing.
- If not settled, ARB hearing.We attend on your behalf and present your comp packet. The Appraisal Review Board decides.
- Escalate to binding arbitration if applicable.Where the value and the stakes justify it, we take it further.
Estimates are model output, not legal or financial advice. Savings figures come from real appraisal-district values and our protest-opportunity model; a $0 estimate means we don’t see room this year, not that the lookup failed. Jersey Tax Consultants does not promise any specific dollar outcome (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 17.46).
