Why flat fee beats contingency
Most Texas protest firms charge a contingency fee — a percentage of your first-year savings, commonly 25%–50%, every year you use them. A flat fee costs the same whether you save $500 or $5,000, and you keep all of it.
| If you save… | Contingency firm (30%) | TaxStand ($199 flat) |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | You keep $700 | You keep $801 |
| $2,000 | You keep $1,400 | You keep $1,801 |
| $3,500 | You keep $2,450 | You keep $3,301 |
Illustrative. Contingency percentages vary by firm; TaxStand's fee is fixed at $199 regardless of your reduction. The trade-off: with TaxStand you file the packet and attend the meeting yourself.
Common pricing questions
How much does it cost to protest property taxes in Texas?
Filing yourself is free. Contingency firms charge a percentage of your savings (commonly 25%–50%). TaxStand charges a flat $199 for a complete evidence packet you file yourself, so you keep 100% of any reduction.
Is there a subscription or recurring fee?
No. You pay $199 once for the year you want a packet. Come back next year only if you want another one.
Do you take a percentage of my savings?
Never. Unlike contingency firms, TaxStand's fee is fixed and unrelated to how much you save. Every dollar of the reduction is yours.
What if I have more than one property?
The $199 flat fee is per property, per year. Each property gets its own dedicated evidence packet.
