AppealMyTax is a property tax protest service that lets homeowners check their assessed value against comparable sales for free and, if over‑assessed, buy a $49 pre‑filled protest kit to file with their county.
What is AppealMyTax?
AppealMyTax is an online tool that helps homeowners identify and appeal over‑assessed property taxes. Enter any U.S. address; the calculator instantly compares your home’s assessed value against real comparable sales from county appraisal records. If you’re over‑assessed, you can purchase a $49 protest kit that includes a pre‑filled appeal form, 5 comparable properties, county‑specific filing instructions, and an ARB protest letter. The service runs in a web browser and is built by AppealMyTax (no parent company stated).
Key Features
- Free over‑assessment check — No signup, no credit card. Enter an address and see an estimated overpayment in 30 seconds using live county records.
- Flat‑fee protest kit — $49 one time, not a percentage. You keep 100% of any savings, unlike competitors that charge 25–50% every year.
- Real county‑sourced comparables — Every comparable is a verified parcel from the public appraisal roll (e.g., HCAD, TCAD, DCAD, FL DOR). A sample report shows exact addresses, square footage, and sale prices.
- Pre‑filled ARB letter — The kit includes a ready‑to‑submit protest form tailored to your county’s process. Most homeowners file in under 5 minutes.
- Coverage — Full per‑parcel data for 14 Texas counties (Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, Travis, etc.) and Florida. Guides for Georgia, Colorado, New Jersey, and New York. On‑demand lookups for major metros including NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Miami, LA, and Atlanta.
- Transparent methodology — Each number links to its source. You can read how computations work or download a sample protest kit before paying.
- 30‑day refund — If unsatisfied, request a full refund within 30 days of purchase.
