Our fee is 25% of the estimated tax savings, before exemptions. If a client has a homestead exemption on their property, the fee for this property will be capped at $150. For clients that have an over 65 exemption the fee on the property will be capped at $65. Tax savings are calculated based on the difference between the Appraised Notice Value and the Final Appraised Value times the tax rate in effect during the preceding year, before exemptions. For example, if the Appraised Notice Value is $300,000 and the tax rate is 2.5%, and if we achieve a reduction of $20,000 for a Final Appraised Value of $280,000, our fee would be $125. ($300,000 – $280,000 = $20,000 X 2.5% tax rate = $500 estimated tax savings. $500 x 25% Representation Fee = $125). Our fees apply separately to each Property Protested.
