Our Protest Process
Sign Up
Getting started is fast and easy. Just complete our simple online form to authorize Texas PVP to review and protest your property value. No printing, scanning, or mailing, everything is handled digitally and securely.
Comprehensive Review & Representation
Our experienced team takes it from there. We gather relevant market data, analyze your property’s valuation, and prepare a strong, customized case. Then we file your protest and represent you at every stage, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Results Delivered
After your protest is complete, we’ll notify you of the outcome and explain any changes to your property’s assessed value. If a reduction is achieved, you’ll receive clear confirmation from us. If not, we’ll protest again next year at no extra cost, because we’re committed to long-term advocacy.
How We Review Your Property
Every property is different, and we believe your protest should reflect that. We start by reviewing the same market data appraisal districts rely on, including comparable sales and neighborhood trends. But we don’t stop there. Our team looks closer at the details that make your property unique based on its condition, location, features, and more to uncover what’s truly driving your assessed value. No templates, no shortcuts. Just a custom strategy built with real data and thoughtful analysis.
What Drives Value and…
What Might Be Driving It Too High
We assess everything that could be pushing your valuation above what’s fair, including:
- Recent comparable home sales in your area
- Deferred maintenance or needed repairs
- Lot size, square footage, and school district
- Unique features like pools, garages, or outdated finishes
- Market trends and shifting neighborhood dynamics
- Land value assumptions
- Uniformity compared to similar nearby homes
