We check whether an appeal will actually lower your tax bill, after caps and exemptions, before you pay. If it won’t, we’ll tell you, and we won’t sell you one. If it will, we mail you a ready-to-sign kit for a flat $89: you sign it and mail it. No percentage of your savings, ever.
Collin County publishes every protest as open data. In 2025, 9,731 of 13,910 owner-filed homestead protests ended with a lower market value than the county first noticed. On taxable value — what actually moves a tax bill — the figure is 44%, because the 10% homestead cap can hold taxes flat even when market value falls.
A peer-reviewed study of Dallas Central Appraisal District records found homeowners who filed their own protest succeeded 69.7% of the time, with average first-year savings of $485 on a successful protest.
Across all 67 Florida counties in tax year 2024, boards reduced 32,216 of the 65,437 petitions they decided, taking $6.0 billion in taxable value off the rolls. In Miami-Dade the rate was 62%.
Enter your address. We pull your county's value and recent comparable sales, and run your bill through your county's caps and exemptions. If an appeal won't lower your bill by more than our $89 fee, we tell you and don't sell you one.
The official form filled in for your home, your evidence, a one-page checklist and a return envelope addressed to the county. A PDF copy of the full kit is also emailed to you the same day.
Sign in ink, add a stamp, and mail it before your deadline. It takes about five minutes. The county writes to you directly. We do not file it, represent you or attend hearings.
vs. the other guys
Most property tax services charge 25–50% of whatever you save. On a $2,000 win, that's up to $1,000 gone before it ever reaches you. We charge a flat $89 — your savings are yours, every dollar.
Georgia: Form PT-311A or your county's own appeal form. Texas: the Comptroller's Form 50-132. Florida: Form DR-486. Completed for your home, ready for your signature.

TaxAppeal USA is a self-service document-preparation service. We prepare a ready-to-sign appeal kit and mail it to you; you sign it and mail it to the county yourself. In every state we serve, including Florida, we are not property tax consultants, agents, or representatives, we do not provide tax or legal advice, and we do not file appeals or represent customers before any appraisal district, board of assessors, board of equalization, value adjustment board, or review board. Every appeal, protest and petition is prepared for the property owner, signed by the owner, and mailed by the owner in the owner’s name. In Florida your petition is signed by you as the property owner under section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes, and the county’s Value Adjustment Board filing fee is paid by you directly to the county. TaxAppeal USA does not sign as your representative, does not appear before the Board, and does not present evidence or argument at a hearing.
