Welcome to your site for property tax savings!

Hello, I'm Jonathan Kutner, licensed by the State of Texas to protest your property's taxable value to your local Appraisal Review Board. For more than 23 years I've helped Texans reduce their property taxes. This year I would like to do the same for you.

You've Filed Your Own Protest (or it’s been filed for you).
Now Get Two Shots for the Price of One!
What comes next – the Appraisal Review Board hearing – is critical: We can help two ways:

Get the Best Representation at the ARB

  • Get a seasoned professional to represent you. A recent study reported that in 2009 of those who filed their own protest 22% achieved a value reduction while 78% did not. Of those who were represented 79.7% achieved a reduction. Self filers' reductions averaged 3.3% of value; others averaged 8.03% of value. Sign Up
  • Get the best representation available. Guaranteed. Our many years experience before the ARB ensure you'll get the best representation available and results to match! Why settle for anything less? Sign Up
  • Keep the lion's share of your savings. Our flat fee starting at $299 means you won't have to split your tax savings with anyone. They are yours to keep, not to share. Sign Up
  • Don't wait. Act now. You'll have only fifteen days notice of your hearing date from the ARB. We need time to prepare the best representation of your case. Act now and we'll have the time to do it right for you. Sign Up

Get the Best at Arbitration!

  • Arbitration is risk free. If we don't get the value you deserve from the Appraisal Review Board, we'll take your case to Arbitration at no additional risk to you. If we don't save you more than the $500 Arbitration fee (held by the State Comptroller), we'll refund the difference. In other words, we won't take a case we can't win. Sign Up
  • Go with a winner. Last year we won every case we took to Arbitration and obtained reductions lower than what the ARB ordered for every client we represented there. Sign Up
  • Arbitration means results. Last year our reductions from Arbitration were three times the reductions granted by the ARB on those same properties before Arbitration. Sign Up
  • Don't wait. Act now. Your deadline for Arbitration is 45 days after receipt of the ARB's Order. If you retain us for representation to the ARB we won't let the Arbitration deadline slip past. Sign Up

Why Protest?

Paper Rocket

The short answer is to ensure you pay only your fair share, not more.

  • Is your Value Over Market? Chances are it is. Appraisal districts tend to follow the market up more diligently than they follow it down.
  • Avoid "value creep". It's what happens over time when small increases are ignored or your property's taxable value doesn't follow the market down. Like black mold, it can grow without notice and it's best nipped early.
  • Inequality of Appraisal – you won't get the reduction unless you protest. Whole neighborhoods qualify under the districts' mass appraisal techniques. Those neighbors who protest get it, those who don't don't.
  • Qualify for Arbitration. Your odds in Arbitration are even more favorable than at the Appraisal Review Board.
  • It's risk free. In 2010 the Property Tax Code provides the chief appraiser may not increase your market value in the year following a successful protest "unless the increase is supported by substantial evidence." The burden of proof is on the chief appraiser. Savings this year are likely to last more than one year and future increases, if any, will be from a lower base.
    • So . . . why not protest? It's a no lose proposition. You'll pay only your fair share of Texas property taxes, not more. Guaranteed.
