How TaxStand works
TaxStand turns your public county appraisal record into a hearing-ready Texas property tax protest packet for a flat $199. You enter your property, we build the evidence, and you file it yourself — keeping 100% of whatever you save. There is no contingency fee and no percentage of your savings, ever.
The three steps
You enter your property
Type your address or county appraisal district (CAD) account number. TaxStand pulls your official appraisal record and the public data for comparable homes in your neighborhood — the same records a contingency firm would use. Free analysis is live for 45 Texas counties, so you can see your case before you pay anything.
We build your evidence packet
For a flat $199, TaxStand runs the equal-and-uniform (unequal-appraisal) analysis under Texas Tax Code §41.43(b)(3), selects the comparable properties that most help your case, and assembles a single PDF: adjusted comparables, the district's own numbers, a homestead-exemption audit, independent and federal market data, verbatim hearing scripts, and step-by-step filing instructions for your county. Our full methodology is published — no black box.
You file it and keep the savings
Upload the packet to your county appraisal district's online protest portal before the May 15 deadline, then attend the informal meeting (most protests settle there). The packet tells you exactly what to say. Whatever reduction you win is yours — TaxStand never takes a cut.
Why file it yourself?
Because it's worth thousands to you and about an hour of effort. A contingency firm that saves you $2,000 and keeps 30% pockets $600 — every single year. With a flat $199 packet that captures the same reduction, you keep $1,801. The only thing you trade is uploading a PDF and showing up to a short meeting, with a script in hand.
