Fortress Tax Defense

Residential portfolios · Fighting appraisal districts since 2020

Fortress Tax Defense uses Texas attorneys. From the protest through a district court appeal, under one fee arrangement.

Every result below is a home held in a client's residential portfolio: an appeal Fortress Tax Defense filed and won. Each one shows the notice value the appraisal district sent, the value after our protest, and the reduction. One agreement covers every home a client owns, in every county, every year.

Texas counties where Fortress Tax Defense protests homes held in residential portfolios.

A note on Tarrant County. Starting in 2024, Tarrant Appraisal District froze residential values, starting with the 2024 final values being identical to the 2025 notices. So, every reduction starts from where the last one ended. The savings compound year over year, and each year there is less left on the notice to take because a reduction was received in the previous year's protest. A Tarrant result that looks small on its own usually sits on top of 2 years of earlier reductions with no increase in the notice value.

Protest and district court, one fee arrangement

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.

Fee if we don’t win

Our fee is a share of what you save, at the protest or in court. No reduction, no invoice. Every season since 2020.
