Challenging Inaccurate Property Tax Assessments in Texas
In Texas, property taxes make up a very large portion of the budget of local governments. Accordingly, property taxes represent a significant cost for most businesses. Oftentimes, business owners just accept the local government’s assessment of these taxes, when there are potentially significant savings that might be had by challenging the government’s position.
The Wilson Firm represents commercial property owners in real estate valuation litigation. When handling property tax matters, our firm’s goal is to make sure that our clients obtain a fair and equitable allocation and assessment of their property tax burden.
In addition to ensuring that the client receives an accurate and equitable valuation of their property, our firm works with and provides sound, strategic advice to tax consultants in order to assist them with the complexities of the Texas Property Tax Code.
