At Grant Group Real Estate, our mission is to provide exceptional property tax related services to our clients while maintaining the highest level of integrity, professionalism, and customer service. This includes ensuring our clients properties are being valued fairly, equally, and within market standards.
Our team of property tax consultants have almost a decade in valuation and real estate experience. With nine years worked at Brazos Central Appraisal District, our knowledge of the ins and outs of their processes allows us to anticipate where the most amount of savings will come from in any county! Our consultant worked on the CAD side of protests, arbitration, and litigation for all property types. The familiarity with processes, laws, and the market help our group stand up for our clients.
We take a personalized approach to each of our clients, taking the time to understand their unique needs and goals. We work collaboratively with our clients to develop a customized strategy that will help them achieve their property tax objectives.
Per Section 41.41 of the Texas Tax Code, "a property owner is entitled to protest before the appraisal review board..." The most common reasons for protest are due to values being over market indicators, or for being appraised unequally. Grant Group Tax Consulting is here to ensure your property is appropriately valued and fight for you if it isn't. With a longstanding relationship with the appraisal districts, we are able to negotiate your values utilizing up-to-date information and an understanding of their own processes.
Last year, we helped our clients save an average of 9% on their tax notices! Sign up with us as early as possible so we can receive your value notice, review it for any errors, and initiate the appeal process promptly. With our expertise, we can analyze your property and compare it to others, ensuring a fair valuation.
Around April, the Appraisal District will send out the majority of the valuation notices for all property types. Though they have an opportunity to send out notices regarding non-homesteaded properties through May and June, single-family residence homesteads must be sent in April. All valuations are as of January 1st of every year, except for some inventory appraisals.
Upon receiving your notice, we will run comparison reports looking at similar and like properties in your area. We also will check the market standards to see how properties like yours are performing within the marketplace.
If it is determined that your property has been overvalued, Grant Group PTC will take care of all the necessary paperwork with the CAD. This includes exercising our fiduciary right to represent you, submitting your opinion of value, requesting the evidence used to determine the current value, and providing any additional information that may be required.
Grant Group PTC will represent you during all informal and formal meetings. First, we will meet with the appraiser who conducted your valuation to discuss any issues related to the comparisons that were used. Our goal is to work towards a resolution that satisfies our clients.
If we cannot reach a direct settlement with the CAD, your property tax consultant will present evidence to the Appraisal Review Board, explaining why the property value should be adjusted. Once they make their decision, an Appraisal Review Board Order of Determination will be mailed to show the certified value.
If the CAD agrees to settle your account and a signed agreement is in place with the appraiser, that value will be considered your final assessment for the year.
If the Board determines your property value, we can review it one additional time after all values are certified in July. This is for any potential need for arbitration or litigation regarding your property. You will still receive a tax notice reflecting the certified value. However, if there are any changes resulting from the arbitration or litigation, you will receive a refund from the County.
