A property owner does have the ability to protest their own properties, but similar to a lawyer or an accountant you want someone who understands the lingo and the rules. As a Property Tax Consultant our main objective is to save you money, if we aren’t saving clients money we aren’t making money. Your time is valuable, filing a protest, navigating deadlines, and attending hearings can be time consuming.

If you presented your protest in front of the Appraisal Review Board, you have the options to either file an Arbitration or a Lawsuit.

An Arbitration is an Appeal to the State Comptroller. Appraisal Review Board members work for and with the Appraisal District all day long. An Arbitration Appeal ensures that your property is appealed to a higher level where there is less chance of bias. Harding and Carbone files hundred’s of Arbitration protests each year, when signing up check the “Consent to Binding Arbitration Appeal” to ensure you don’t miss out on the savings.
