Question 1

What is property tax protest?

Accepted Answer

A property tax protest is a formal challenge to your county’s assessed value of your home when you believe it’s higher than its true market value. Instead of dealing with paperwork and deadlines yourself, simply sign up with Tax Cutter and our experts will handle the full protest process for you to help lower your tax bill.

Question 2

How to file a property tax protest?

Accepted Answer

Normally, homeowners must file a Notice of Protest with their County Appraisal District by the annual deadline. However, when you sign up with Tax Cutter, we take care of filing your protest, preparing the case, communicating with the county, and handling hearings, so you don’t have to do anything.

Question 3

How to protest a property tax increase?

Accepted Answer

To protest a tax increase, you need to show evidence that your home’s assessed value is incorrect or inflated compared to similar properties. Tax Cutter takes care of this entire process for you, gathering comparable sales data, property analysis, and market research to challenge unfair increases and help reduce your taxes.

Question 4

Is it worth protesting property taxes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, protesting is one of the easiest ways to save money on your annual taxes when values rise. And with Tax Cutter, there’s no risk, you only pay if we successfully reduce your property taxes. You sign up once, and we do the work while you enjoy potential savings.

Question 5

What is the best evidence to protest property taxes?

Accepted Answer

The best evidence to protest property taxes includes data on recent property sales and highlighting discrepancies in the value of similar properties. Additionally, information about the condition of your property or any economic factors affecting property values in your area can strengthen your case. Tax Cutter gathers and presents all required evidence on your behalf using advanced valuation tools and data, so your protest is backed by the strongest support possible.

Question 6

Why did my property assessment go up so much?

Accepted Answer

Property values often rise due to local market growth, neighbourhood sales, automated appraisal updates, or errors by the county appraisal district. If your value jumped too high, Tax Cutter steps in to review your assessment and protest any inaccurate increases so you are not stuck paying more than you should.

Question 7

What is the difference between assessed value and market value?

Accepted Answer

Market value is the estimated selling price of a property, while assessed value is the value used by tax authorities to calculate property taxes. Market value depends on factors like location and condition and changes frequently. The assessed value is determined by the local tax assessor before consideration of exemptions applied on the property. Property taxes are based on the assessed value, not the market value.
