Flat fee · You keep 100% · Comps you can check yourself
No contingency. No auto-renewal. No catch.
Most property tax appeal companies take a cut of your savings, every year, forever. We don't. AppealMyTax is a flat $49, one time. You keep 100% of whatever you save, and you file it yourself with a pre-filled kit built from your county's own appraisal roll.
- ✓ Flat $49, one time (no percentage of your savings, ever)
- ✓ No auto-renewal, no contract, nothing to cancel
- ✓ You keep 100% of every dollar you save, every year
- ✓ Real comparable parcels from your county's own appraisal roll (14 TX counties, plus on-demand lookup for major metros nationwide)
- ✓ You can verify every single comp yourself
- ✓ 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked, and you file it yourself
What AppealMyTax guarantees
- ✓ Real county data. Every comp is a genuine parcel pulled from your county's own appraisal roll.
- ✓ Verified comps. You can look up each one yourself in the public record before you file.
- ✓ Pre-filled forms. Your kit arrives built for your specific property, ready to sign and submit.
- ✓ Flat $49, one time. You keep 100% of your savings, this year and every year after.
What we don't do
- ✗ No guarantees on the hearing outcome. Appraisal Review Board decisions depend on your evidence and the panel you draw. A strong packet improves your odds; it doesn't decide the result.
- ✗ No legal advice. We give you organized, checkable data, not representation. You file it yourself.
- ✗ No contingency, no auto-renewal. We never take a cut of your savings, and there's nothing to cancel.
How our data works
Every figure starts with the public county appraisal roll, the same record your appraisal district uses to set your tax. When you enter your address, we compare your assessed value to recent sales and assessments of genuinely comparable homes nearby, adjusted for size, age, and condition. That's the unequal-appraisal standard Texas Appraisal Review Boards weigh under Tax Code §41.43(b)(3).
If you're over-assessed, the kit lays out those comps as evidence. If you're not, we say so straight, and the same data becomes a Valuation Report instead. Either way, nothing is a made-up estimate, and you can verify every comp yourself. See the full methodology →
What a contingency cut actually costs you
A contingency firm only sounds free because there is no upfront fee. The fee comes out of your savings, and on a successful appeal it can dwarf a flat fee. Worse, with the yearly contingency model it comes out again next year, and the year after that.
Example: you save $1,200 a year on your tax bill
A 25% contingency firm
$300/yr
25% of $1,200, taken again every single year you hold the lower value. Over 5 years that is roughly $1,500 out of your pocket.
AppealMyTax
$49 once
Flat, one time. You keep the full $1,200 this year, and the full $1,200 every year after. We never take another cent.
Illustrative math on a $1,200 annual saving. Your actual saving depends on your property and your county. The point is the structure, a percentage taken yearly versus a flat fee taken once.
For context
How the big contingency firms charge
This isn't the main point of the page, but it's worth a look before you sign anywhere. We are not telling you to avoid every other service, only to read the fee structure first, because some of these arrangements are far more expensive than a flat fee, and some come with public records worth knowing about.
O'Connor & Associates
O'Connor charges no upfront fee and takes roughly 50% of your first-year tax savings as a contingency. On a $1,200 first-year reduction, that is about $600 of your savings versus a flat $49 with us.
According to a KHOU report, the Texas Attorney General sued O'Connor & Associates, with allegations that included filing protests without property-owner authorization, missing hearings, and notarization issues. These are allegations from litigation, stated here as reported and not as proven fact.
Read the KHOU report →Ownwell
Ownwell charges a contingency of 25% of your savings, rising to 35% in some states, and it recurs every year. On a $1,200 saving, that is $300 to $420 out of your pocket annually, repeating for as long as you hold the lower value.
Ownwell also has a public complaint record with the Better Business Bureau. We are not characterizing the outcomes, only pointing you to the file so you can read it yourself before you sign.

Four questions. Ask them of us, ask them of anyone. The answers tell you almost everything.
- Is it a contingency percentage? If they take a cut of your savings, run the math on a real reduction. A percentage taken every year compounds against you. A flat fee does not.
- Does it auto-renew? A yearly contingency or subscription that renews on its own can keep billing you long after the work is done. Ours does not renew, there is nothing to cancel.
- Do they disclose where the comps come from?Your appeal lives or dies on the comparable properties. If a service will not tell you the data source, you cannot judge the quality of the case. Ours come from your county's own appraisal roll.
- Can you verify each comp yourself? Every comparable in our kit is a real parcel you can look up in the public record. If you cannot independently check a comp, it is a guess, and a wrong comp can lose your hearing.
