For DFW homeowners fighting an over-assessed value
Think the county over-valued your home? Prove it with an independent appraisal.
Compass on-site appraisal · flat $550 · ready for your ARB hearing.
Your appraisal district’s number is a mass estimate — it isn’t an appraisal of your home. The Texas protest deadline is around May 15. A licensed, independent appraisal is the evidence a review board actually weighs.
- An independent opinion of your home’s real market value as of January 1 — the date the county uses.
- A full report you can submit to your ARB — DCAD, TAD, CCAD, or Denton CAD.
- We give you the honest number — never a “hit-a-low-value” report. The honest, defensible number is the one that wins.
- One form to order. We schedule and inspect; you show up to your hearing with real evidence.
Why this tier
Why we put you on the Compass on-site appraisal.
A review board weighs a full, inspected appraisal far more than a desktop estimate. The on-site inspection documents the condition and problems the county’s mass model never saw — the exact things that pull your value down. Newer, simple home? The Chart ($450) may be enough — expand below to choose.
