Welcome To TaxStar
On-Line Property
Tax Evidence
For Texas, Kansas, And Missouri
The commercial data has been compiled and reported by CID SourceNet
for over 28 years in the Houston area.
In addition, Real Data, Inc., with over 18 years of providing
residential sales data for the Houston area, licenses access to its
residential sales database to TaxStar.
All residential and commercial sales transactions are obtained from
courthouse records on a daily basis, matched with appraisal district
records, and verified by various reliable sources, i.e. appraisers,
brokers, buyers, sellers, and the appraisal district. CID-SourceNet and Real Data, Inc. have
joined with Revac, Inc, a 30 year old professional appraisal and tax consulting company, to
provide a service to individual homeowners and commercial property
owners. The TaxStar service
provides the owner an inexpensive means of determining if their property is
over-assessed and eliminates unecessary time consuming tax protest
preparation. The TaxStar reports
are prepared in such a way that if you determine your property is over-assessed,
you can print copies of the report to be used at an informal or formal
appraisal district protest hearing.
After determining that your property is over-assessed you may alternatively
decide that you want a professional tax consultant to present your case at
the appraisal district protest hearing instead of presenting the evidence
yourself. The costs for hiring a
professional tax consultant range from 10%-25% of the actual tax savings
for commercial properties and 30% to 50% for residential properties.
Example: If your property’s assessed value/market
value is $200,000 and you reduce it to $190,000, the tax savings equates to
about $255 or about $25.50 per $1000.
A tax consultant would receive $255 x 30% = $76.50 or $255 x 50% =
$127.50.
