Over Taxed, Ltd assists property owners in all aspects of real estate valuation and tax services in boutique fashion – designed specifially for the clients needs!

Similar to our residential representation, our specialists provide quality representation for all property and take into consideration any homestead and/or other special exemptions. We insure that the statutory caps, in any, are accurate.
Protesting Process
Filing Assessment Appeals / Protest Assessed Property Value
We gather information on the subject property and file the necessary forms to correctly file an appeal.
Informal Property Tax Hearings
Over Taxed meets informally with county appraisers to discuss all the property’s issues and attempts to informally settle values.
Formal Hearings with Appraisal Review Board
If an agreement is not reached in an informal hearing, we prepare for and attend formal meetings with District representatives and three members for the County Appraisal Review Board. After hearing testimony from both sides, the Board, which is a separate and neutral entity, renders a final opinion as to the valuation of the property.
Arbitration
Recent changes in the Property Tax Code has added a new alternative to Litigation for properties with a value of less than $1,000,000. If, after the Formal Hearing, the value is still too high, this meeting can be held with one Arbitrator who is completely neutral and separate from the County Appraisal District (CAD).
Litigation
If, after administrative appeal is exhausted, the value is still excessive, a lawsuit can be filed on the property. We assist clients in selecting an attorney and prepare a consulting report as evidence to resolve the case.
Other Services
Homestead Exemptions
For clients who qualify for this exemption we fill out the necessary forms and paperwork and make sure the exemption is granted.
Eligibility / Filing for Other Exemptions
We also determine eligibility and file exemptions for any other type of allowable exemption.
