Texas · High-Value Residential · Recent tax years
We reduced Texas high-value residential appraised values by up to 41% in recent years.
Fortress Tax Defense protests high-value residential property throughout Texas. Most of the owners we represent at this level also hold other real estate, in more than one county: ranches, commercial property, land, rental homes under $4 million. We protest all of it under the same fee agreement.

How it works
Your principal is your point of contact. The Fortress Tax Defense principal assigned to your account handles it from the first call: the protest at the Appraisal Review Board, and, where there are still savings to be had, the appeal in district court as your attorney. No hand-off to a hearing representative, no referral to outside counsel.
Every asset, one fee agreement. A high-value home is rarely an owner's only property. Ranches, commercial buildings, land and other homes, in any Texas county, come under the same agreement and the same fee: a share of the tax saved, with no reduction meaning no invoice.
One litigation appeal per county. Where you hold other real estate in the same county as your home, we can file a single district court appeal covering all of those properties, even when they are held in different entities you own. One case instead of several, with the appraisal district answering for every property at once.
Attorneys, not agents. Every Fortress Tax Defense protest is prepared and argued by a licensed Texas attorney. The results on this page are high-value homes we represented, from the appraisal district's notice value to the final value, after litigation where a case went to district court.

Your case is prepared and argued by licensed Texas attorneys — not a call center, not a form-filler.
If we believe there are still possible savings after the Appraisal Review Board protest, we can file in district court under the same fee arrangement. A tax consultant can’t file that suit. Attorneys can.
Our fee is 30% of the tax savings we win for you, at the protest or in court. No reduction, no invoice. Every season since 2020.
When you call or email Fortress Tax Defense, you reach one of the owners of Fortress Tax Defense — the attorney who will personally handle your case. We know our clients and their properties, and we like it that way.
Fortress Tax Defense handles all property types — residential, residential portfolios, multi-family, commercial, office, industrial, land, ranch, and business personal property (BPP) — and serves every county in Texas, all 254 of them.
Sign up and we email you the Fortress Tax Defense agreement and the state Appointment of Agent form to sign electronically. From there our Texas attorneys build the evidence, handle the appraisal district and the Appraisal Review Board, and file in district court if that's what it takes. If we don't reduce your value, you owe nothing.
