Van Kerrebrook & Associates P.C. represents property owners in valuation litigation against Houston-area appraisal districts. Texas local governments are largely funded by property taxes. This makes property taxes a significant cost of doing business in Texas, particularly for property-intensive businesses. The ability to challenge a property's taxable valuation is tightly controlled by Texas law, and there are many potential pitfalls for the owner. Our lawyers have practiced for over twenty years in the area of property tax litigation. Our practice emphasizes representation of commercial property owners. (We do not accept representation on residential valuation challenges.)
