Disclosures.

Last updated August 24, 2026

The disclosures that matter when you hire a property tax consultant in Texas, stated plainly.

Who we are

Paradox Property Tax Services is a private, independent commercial property tax consulting firm. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with any county appraisal district, appraisal review board, or taxing unit. Nothing on this site is an official notice.

Licensing

Property tax consulting in Texas is regulated under Chapter 1152 of the Texas Occupations Code, administered by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The individuals who perform or supervise our consulting work are registered property tax consultants, and the work is supervised by a registered Senior Property Tax Consultant. Registration belongs to individuals rather than firms, which is exactly how the statute works.

Fees

Our fee is performance based: a share of the first-year tax savings actually achieved, measured on your real tax bill, not on an estimate, and not on a value reduction that saved no tax. The exact percentage and basis are stated in the written services agreement you sign before any work begins. If there are no savings, there is no fee.

Representation

To act for you before an appraisal district we must hold a signed Appointment of Agent (Comptroller Form 50-162), filed with each county appraisal district where you own property. The appointment remains in effect until it is revoked, and you may revoke it at any time. We re-confirm the engagement with you each year rather than relying on silence.

If a protest goes past the appraisal review board

Most protests resolve informally or at the appraisal review board. Where the numbers justify going further, the next step is binding arbitration for properties that qualify, or an appeal to district court. Court appeals are conducted through licensed Texas attorneys we work with under established agreements; we tell you what that path costs before you choose it.

Results

No outcome is guaranteed. Most protests on well-evidenced commercial properties produce some reduction, but every property and tax year is evaluated on its own facts, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. When we think a property has no case, we say so.
