How it works — and why DIY wins.

The protest process is simpler than most people think. You just need the right evidence. We build it for you — then you present it and keep every dollar you save.

Most homeowners think they need a consultant.

They don't. Consultants use the same public data you can access. The difference is they charge you for it — and take a cut of your savings.

So how does it actually work?

Two phases, six simple steps. We handle the hard part — you handle the easy part.

We build your evidence

Three steps to a professional evidence package

1
Look up your propertySearch by address or HCAD account number. We pull your current appraisal data — values, square footage, condition codes, and more — and show you exactly what the county has on file.
2
Verify details & add evidenceReview the county's data and flag anything that looks wrong. Upload photos of damage, repair estimates, inspection reports — the things only you know about your property. Accurate data means our engine finds better comparable properties and builds a stronger case.
3
Get your evidence packageOur AI engine scans over 1.6 million HCAD records to identify the strongest comparable properties for your case, calculates professional-grade adjustments, and packages everything into a print-ready evidence PDF — delivered within 48 hours.

You present your case

You file, you present, you keep every dollar

4
File your protestSubmit your protest online through HCAD's iFile system or by mail. Our guide walks you through the filing process step by step — it takes about 5 minutes. The deadline is May 15 (or 30 days after your notice, whichever is later).
5
Present at your hearingInformal hearings are 10–15 minute conversations. Bring your evidence package, present the key points, and discuss with the appraiser. Our free Protest Guide walks you through exactly what to say and what to expect. No legal expertise required.
6
Keep every dollar you saveIf the appraiser agrees to a reduction — and most protests result in some reduction — the savings go straight to your tax bill. No percentage cut to a consultant. No surprise fees. Your reduction is yours.

Why do it yourself?

Same data, better technologyOur AI engine scans over 1.6 million HCAD records to find the strongest comparable properties automatically. We automate what consultants do manually — and pass the savings to you.
Full transparency into your caseOur evidence package shows you everything: the comparable properties, the adjustments, the data sources. It’s your case and you understand it — no black box.
No contract, no lock-inWe charge a flat fee per property. Use us this year, skip next year, come back the year after — entirely up to you.

DIY protester

"I protest every year but I want stronger evidence"

You know the process. You need better ammunition. Our AI engine scans HCAD’s full database to find the most defensible comparable properties and calculates professional-grade adjustments — the same analysis consultants charge hundreds for.

Done with consultants

"I'm paying too much for too little"

Consultants take 25–50% of your savings plus a flat fee. We charge $75 once. You keep every dollar of your reduction. Same quality evidence, fraction of the cost.
