Stop overpaying on your Texas property taxes.
Every case is built by hand by a Texas attorney and an institutional valuation professional, using the appraisal district's own data against it. You pay 25% of what we save you, and nothing if we don't.
No account, no obligation. Estimate only — we confirm with live county data once you sign up.
The highest protest success rate in Texas, and we publish it.
We don't take cases we don't intend to win, which is exactly why our success rate leads the market. When a case is right, we push past the district's first offer.
A law-firm standard of advocacy. An underwriter's standard of evidence.
Most protest firms run your property through software and hope. TruRate was founded by a Texas-licensed attorney and a commercial valuation professional with institutional experience at one of the world's largest real estate firms. That expertise works your file, not a call center.
Attorney-led strategy
Every case is framed on the strongest statutory grounds, market value and unequal appraisal, with full use of your procedural rights, including formal evidence requests that force the district to show its hand before the hearing.
Institutional analysis
Our valuation practice was built in commercial real estate: income approach, cap rates, NOI, and market benchmarking. We read an appraisal district's model the way an underwriter reads a deal, line by line, looking for the flaw.
Every case, the full workup
No bulk filings. No templated evidence. Each property gets a cited, page-referenced evidence packet and a hearing strategy written for that property. That's why our success rate leads the industry.
How it works
Sign up in two minutes. We handle everything after that, every year.
Sign up
Enter your property and sign two short documents on screen: the state's agent appointment form and our fee agreement.
We build the case
When your notice arrives, we file on market value and unequal appraisal, request the district's evidence, and pull the comparable properties that make your case.
We negotiate and attend
We work the informal review with the district's appraiser, and take it to the Appraisal Review Board if the offer isn't right. You never have to attend.
You save
Once values are final, we invoice 25% of that year's tax savings. No reduction, no invoice. We protest again the next year unless you tell us to stop.
Of what we save you. Nothing if we don't.
No retainer, no upfront cost, no per-filing charges. Each year we protest, our fee is 25% of the tax savings we actually win for you that year, calculated on a formula written into the agreement you sign.
What our clients say
In the first year representing me, TruRate reduced my valuation and tax bill. I had been with [another company] for the previous four years and they had never been able to reduce my valuation. I am very pleased with the seamless process and would highly recommend their services.
I've been fighting property taxes on my own for 7 years and I am so glad I have delegated this to the professionals. Despite my newer home being in year 3 of ownership, they managed to fight the value back almost all the way down to my purchase price. Will continue to use year after year!
I highly recommend using TruRate for your property tax protest. Signup was quick and easy, their communication was prompt and professional, and they successfully won my protest. Overall outstanding service for a reasonable fee.
After using the same company for the past several years, I had become passive and didn't realize there was such a better option out there. The team at TruRate have been prompt, helpful, and professional — but most importantly, they've helped me save a significant amount of money in a single year.
TruRate made the process easy and saved us a significant amount of money on our taxes. Thank you, TruRate team!
