Leave us a Google reviewWe handle the paperwork, evidence, and hearings. You only pay if we reduce your valuation.
Tell us about your residential, commercial, or investment property. Takes a few minutes — no upfront cost.
Our team uses deep Austin-market knowledge to assemble evidence and protest your valuation with the county.
If we reduce your valuation, you keep the savings. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.
The Austin-area real estate boom has pushed county appraisals sky-high. Don't agree to pay the county's number without a fight — you may be surprised how much you can save.
Success-based pricing — you only pay when we actually lower your bill.
For properties without an exemption — typically investment properties. We charge just 33% of your total tax savings. Most competitors charge 40–50%.
Applies only to properties with an exemption already in place — not to investment properties. Fee is based on the total value reduction we achieve:
| Value reduction achieved | Your fee |
|---|---|
| $0 – $5,000 | $0 |
| $5,000 – $15,000 | $50 |
| $15,001 – $50,000 | $75 |
| $50,001 – $100,000 | $100 |
| $100,001 – $150,000 | $125 |
| Greater than $150,000 | $150 |
On non-exempt properties, our 33% fee means more of every dollar saved stays in your pocket.
Discount Property Taxes is owned by Stephen Maida, a University of Texas at Austin graduate with more than 16 years protesting property tax valuations across Central Texas. His background runs deep on both sides of real estate — development, construction, sales, property management, and development consulting for residential and commercial projects alike.
That command of multiple disciplines is exactly what gives Stephen an edge against the county appraisers. We protest both residential and commercial property taxes — including large institutional assets — and we know how to build a case the county takes seriously.
As a licensed Realtor, Stephen has direct access to the Austin MLS for comparable sales and rent data, plus long-standing relationships with brokers across the market. He maintains an ongoing database of residential and commercial comps and pairs it with detailed financial models to argue your valuation down as low as possible.
