Real Result — Madhi, El Paso

An El Paso home assessed at $1.1M. The county had it wrong by 59%.

Our AI analyzed comparable sales across El Paso County and found a fair market value of $707,430. The county was assessing at $1,123,575, a 59% over-assessment. That's $9,238 per year in taxes the homeowner didn't owe.

Your AI Case Analyst

Meet Max, Your AI Case Analyst

Other services hand you documents and say good luck. Max has read your assessment, your comps, and your filing data — ask him anything.

“Why did I get a B grade instead of an A?”

Two of your eight comps sold more than 6 months ago. Assessors can challenge those. I flagged the six most recent as your primary evidence.

“Will the assessor challenge my comps?”

Probably Comp 4 — it's 1.2 miles away. But your three strongest comps are all within 0.3 miles and sold in the last 90 days. Lead with those.

“What should I say at my hearing?”

Open with your three strongest comps. The assessor will ask about the renovation — tell them it was cosmetic, not structural. I've drafted your talking points.

How It Works

How We Compare

Know What You're Getting

Not all property tax services are the same. Here's an honest look at the options.

See your grade and savings estimate — $0

Evidence grade (A–F)

Know your case strength before spending a dollar

Dual method analysis

Market value + unequal appraisal — two arguments, not one

Hearing preparation script

Word-for-word talking points for your county hearing

Weekly monitoring

Free forever — we alert you when your assessment changes

$45 flat, you keep 100%

What Makes Us Different

Not Just Another Forms Generator

Real valuation engine (not pass-through of county's own number)

We independently calculate your home's market value using comparable sales and professional adjustment standards.

Dual method: market value + unequal appraisal

Two separate arguments for a reduction — most services only use one.

Transparent grading — no charge if there's no case right now

If the data doesn't support a protest this year, we'll tell you and monitor for next year. We'd rather earn your trust than take $45 prematurely.

Evidence grade (A–F) with transparent methodology

See exactly how strong your case is and why, before you pay.

Hearing script + ARB preparation guide

If your county schedules a hearing, you get word-for-word talking points — not just a letter.

Weekly assessment monitoring (free, forever)

We check your property against county records every week. If your assessed value changes, you get an email alert with the new number and whether it's worth re-filing. Others charge you again. We don't.

Your Appeal Package

What You Get for $45

Everything a property tax consultant uses to build your case — prepared by AI in minutes, not weeks.

Comparable Sales Evidence

8–15 recent sales ranked by relevance to your property. Each comp scored by similarity, distance, and $/sqft. The strongest evidence highlighted for your hearing.

Neighbor Assessment Comparison

We pull assessed values for 20 properties near you from county records and compare their $/sqft to yours. If your neighbors pay less, that's your strongest argument. This analysis takes 2–3 hours to do manually. We do it in seconds.

Appeal Letter + Hearing Script

Formal protest letter with statute citations. Pre-written hearing script with $/sqft arguments, what to say, and what NOT to say.

County Filing Guide + Forms

Your exact deadline, pre-filled state forms, and step-by-step filing instructions for your specific county.

Dual-Ground Strategy

We analyze your case from two angles: market value (what homes sell for) and unequal appraisal (what neighbors are assessed at). If one argument is challenged, you have another ready.

Assessment Monitoring (Free)

We check your property against county records weekly. If your assessed value changes, you get an alert.

Simple Pricing

Common Concerns

Three Things That Stop
Homeowners From Saving

1

“I don't want my taxes to go UP”

In most states, filing an appeal cannot increase your assessed value. Worst case: nothing changes. In the few states where an upward adjustment is possible (GA, WA), we show a clear warning and only recommend filing with strong evidence.

2

“It's too complicated / I don't have time”

Enter your address, pay $45, download your appeal package. Under 10 minutes from start to finish. We handle the research, the forms, and the strategy.

3

“Is it even worth it for my property?”

The average successful appeal may save $1,500/year. Over 5 years, that could be $7,500. For $45. Check free — we'll tell you honestly if it's worth appealing.

Every Year You Don't Appeal,
You Lock In an Inflated Baseline

The cost of waiting isn't $0 — it's every dollar you've already overpaid. A $1,500 annual over-assessment could cost you $7,500 over five years.
