What We Do

Assist Taxpayers with appealing
Appraised Values
Unequal Appraisals
Exemptions (qualification, accuracy, timing)

We represent taxpayers throughout the entire appeal process (Research, Informal
hearings, Formal ARB hearings, Litigation, Lawsuits, and Arbitration, refund follow-up,
and more).

We evaluate our clients’ properties every year to monitor appraised values, condition
changes, current sales, etc., with the objective of achieving the lowest appraised values
possible on an ongoing basis.

NTPTS Approach to Tax Value

Makes extensive use of data purchased from DCAD and other sources in the
analysis process.
Sales selected based on DCAD Class of Home, Neighborhood Code, Condition,
Depreciation, Age, etc.
Value comparison follows the DCAD system techniques and process.
Adjusts for Land differences, SqFt differences, DCAD Depreciation factors, etc.
Adjust on $/sf basis of the primary living space, excluding additional components
and land value.
Uses a proprietary data-driven Comparative-Value Analysis System.
Looks for Un-Equal value vs. similar properties (not just “neighboring properties”).

Contingency-based Fees

We work on a contingency basis; no charge whatsoever if we don’t reduce the taxes. In
the year that we do reduce the appraised value, our fee is a one-time payment of 40% of
the tax savings.
