How FairAssess works
Most homeowners never appeal — even when the county got the number wrong. We handle the entire process so you don't have to learn tax code or miss a deadline.
- 01
We analyze your assessment
Enter your address and we compare your county's assessed value against recent sales, property condition signals, and neighborhood trends.
- 02
We build and file your appeal
If you're over-assessed, our team prepares the evidence, submits paperwork before your county deadline, and handles follow-up with the assessor.
- 03
You keep the savings
When your assessment drops, your tax bill goes down. We charge a contingency fee only on the savings we secure — nothing if we don't win.
Why homeowners appeal — and why most never do
Property tax appeals are your legal right. The problem is the process: confusing forms, tight deadlines, and hearings that favor people who do this every day.
See if you're overpayingMass appraisal creates errors
Counties value thousands of properties at once using models. They often miss renovations, damage, or changing neighborhood conditions.
Appeals have strict deadlines
Most counties give you 30–45 days after your notice arrives. Miss the window and you're locked into that value for the year.
The data is public — the process isn't
Comparable sales and assessment records are available, but building a credible case takes time most homeowners don't have.
No savings, no fee
FairAssess works on contingency — the same model homeowners expect from a property tax appeal firm. There's no subscription, no upfront payment, and no charge if we don't reduce your assessment.
Contingency pricing
If we lower your assessment and save you $1,000 in taxes, our fee is $250. You keep $750 — every year the reduction holds.

Homeowners who stopped overpaying
“I assumed our appraisal was fair until FairAssess showed a $53,000 gap. They handled everything — I didn't attend a single meeting.”

“The deadline was two weeks out and I had no idea where to start. They filed on time and got our assessment reduced on the first pass.”

“We manage four rental properties. FairAssess reviewed each one and found overvaluations on two. The fee only applied where they won.”

Common questions
- Is this actually free to start?
- Yes. The property review costs nothing. You only pay our contingency fee if we successfully reduce your property tax assessment.
- Which states do you serve?
- We're currently accepting properties in Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Washington. Enter your address to confirm eligibility for your county.
- Do I have to attend a hearing?
- In most cases, no. We handle informal negotiations and formal hearings on your behalf. We'll let you know if your county requires owner attendance.
- What if my assessment doesn't change?
- You owe nothing. Our fee applies only when we achieve a measurable tax reduction on your property.
- When should I sign up?
- As soon as you receive your annual valuation notice. Appeal windows are short — often 30 to 45 days — and missing the deadline means waiting another year.
- How is this different from doing it myself?
- You can appeal on your own, but building a strong case requires comparable sales research, understanding county-specific procedures, and meeting strict filing deadlines. We do that work for you.
Your county set your value. Make sure it's fair.
