The current appraisal system often results in unjustly high taxes for property owners due to the mass appraisal techniques used under section 23.01(b) of the Tax Code. Faulkner & Williams counters these biased assessments with a precise, data-driven approach, significantly reducing your tax obligations. Appraisal Districts frequently favor recent sales and upgraded properties while overlooking lower comparables, leading to overvaluation. Your Appraisal Review Board hearing is a pivotal opportunity for us to present strong evidence and ensure compliance with the Tax Code, preventing over-taxation. Important to note: 7 out of 10 property owners in Texas metro areas overpay their property taxes annually.

We have a firm understanding that achieving fair taxation requires undeniable evidence and aggressive advocacy at your ARB hearing. Over the last 15,000 in-person hearings, we've seen a troubling trend: firms promising "no reduction, no fee" often neglect formal hearings, accepting minor reductions (if any), offered via spreadsheet by the Appraisal District. This leads to meager reductions and future tax increases—a scenario you might recognize if you’ve tried this in the past. At Faulkner Williams, we take a different approach. Your ARB hearing is critical for securing a substantial reduction. Never forgo it. We rigorously represent all our clients, in a formal hearing, whether it's a modest $3,000 property or a $30 million estate. Our goal is clear and non-negotiable: to win for you. We go beyond merely showing up; we fight relentlessly to ensure your taxes are fair and justified. Additionally, we implement measures to prevent future increases the following year.
