How property tax protests work

We handle everything. You just need to authorize us to protest on your behalf.

You authorize Kin

Sign a simple authorization form online and our licensed Texas property tax team gets started.

We review your assessment

Using your property data and comparable neighborhood sales, we identify whether your home may be over-assessed.

We fight for your reduction

Our team then files the protest with the County before the May 15 deadline. We attend hearings and negotiate on your behalf. If we win a reduction, you pay Kin 10% of your savings. If we don't win, you pay nothing.

Keep more money in your pocket.

We’re not the only company that does this. But we do provide exceptional value, and from a company you already trust to protect your home and finances. How our fee compares if your property taxes are reduced by $1,000:

Provider Fee Their cut on $700 You keep
Typical industry 25–50% $250 - 500 $500 - 750
10% $100 $900

Based on a $1,000 savings example. Past results don't guarantee future savings. Actual results depend on your property and protest outcome.

10% fee: If we successfully help you lower your property taxes, our fee is 10% of your savings. For example, if you save $1,000, our fee is $100.

No fee if we don't win: If the protest is unsuccessful, you will pay nothing.

There's no risk: In Texas, a protest can only lower your assessed value β€” never raise it.

Licensed local experts

Your protest is handled by property tax professionals licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) who know your county's hearing process inside and out.

Things you're probably wondering

How long does the process take?

It depends on the County's schedule, but here's the typical timeline. Once you authorize us, we file your protest before the May 15 deadline. The county then schedules an informal hearing with an appraiser, which typically happens between June and August. Most cases settle at that stage. If your case needs to go to a formal Appraisal Review Board hearing, it may run into the fall. We'll keep you updated by email at each step, so you never have to wonder where things stand.

How does the 10% fee work?

If we win a reduction in your assessed value, you pay Kin 10% of your tax savings. That's it. There's no upfront cost, no filing fee, and no retainer. We invoice you after the county confirms the outcome. If we don't win a reduction, you pay us nothing. 

What does the fee actually cover?

Everything. Filing your protest, representing you at the Appraisal Review Board hearing, all negotiations with the County. And you only pay it after a reduction is confirmed. If we don't win, you pay nothing.

What's the deadline?

Texas property tax protests must be filed by May 15, 2026. We need your authorization by May 12 to ensure there's enough time to properly prepare and file.

Why did I get this invitation?

We analyzed your property's assessed value against comparable homes in your neighborhood. Based on what we found, you may be paying more in property taxes than needed.

Does protesting affect my insurance or mortgage?

No. A successful protest only reduces your assessed value for tax purposes only. It has no effect on your Kin insurance policy.

I have a homestead exemption. Can I still file a protest?

A homestead exemption and a property tax protest are two different things, and you can benefit from both. The exemption reduces the taxable value of your home by a fixed amount set by the state. A protest challenges whether the assessed value of your home is accurate in the first place. If your home is over-assessed, winning a protest lowers the starting number before any exemption is applied, which means additional savings on top of what you already receive. Having an exemption doesn't reduce your chances of winning a protest.
