Proven Results for Texas Property Owners
Real property tax reductions achieved through strategic appeals, appraisal corrections, and litigation.
Office Building Case
An office building was back-assessed for prior years, creating multiple delinquencies, penalties, and interest. The original appeal was dismissed after being filed under the wrong provision. Michael pursued a subsequent appeal using an alternative remedy. The appraisal district acknowledged duplicate assessment and corrected the records, eliminating all back taxes.
