Maximize Tax Savings for your Commercial Property
Counties appraisal methods often lead to over-taxation for commercial property owners. Mass appraisals do not consider the unique considerations that impact your property, and this had a direct impact on your property tax bill. Our team of licensed consultants are experts in commercial property tax services and can assist you in lowering this tax appraisal value while staying free from the stress and effort involved.
As a leading firm for commercial property tax relief in San Antonio, we have a team of property tax consultants that analyze your property valuation through a series of valuation methods to determine an accurate opinion of value. We then review all appraisal records that the county uses to establish value, appeals your case, and endeavors to reduce your property tax liability. We file all the paperwork on your behalf and attend all the hearings, saving you the time spent gathering evidence and presenting it in a well-defined and persuasive manner.
Reach out to us to learn how we can help you throughout your commercial property tax appeal process and put your money back into your pocket.

01
Filing Your Appeal
Every commercial property owner has the right to appeal the property’s value set by your county’s appraisal district.

Tax Code Levels of Appeal
We can represent and fight your case at all levels of the protest process. Our team taps into every avenue possible to ensure that you get results, and we also attend all hearings and appeals as your representatives, demonstrating compelling evidence to strengthen your chances of a successful appeal.
Informal Hearing
In this initial level of the protest process, our team meets informally with the appraisal district personnel to resolve the appeal and reach a property reduction that meets our client’s expectations. If we are unable to settle the protest, we move to the next step.
ARB Hearing (Formal)
After the informal is complete, we move on to a formal hearing with the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). In this level of appeal, your consultant will present all the evidence gathered to support your case utilizing an aggressive approach and will receive an official order determining protest.
Judicial Appeals
If we feel that the ARB Hearing has not resulted in a reasonable conclusion, Binding Arbitration or Litigation is the last alternative in the levels of appeal. At this level, we will consult with our client individually to assess whether they want us to continue the fight.

If I hire Alamo Ad Valorem, how will they help me?
We will take care of the entire commercial property tax protest process for you, from filing your commercial property tax appeal, gathering all the evidence the appraisal district will use, researching sales and neighboring appraisals, to presenting before the district’s appraiser and/or appraisal review board.
If we have a strong case but did not get the desired outcome, we can also assist in binding arbitration or litigation. A cost benefit and the valuation of your commercial property will determine which route we should take.
What do I do if the county has incorrect information on record for my property?
We will work with the Appraisal District to rectify any incorrect information shown on your property records. This would be done while protesting your property value and could contribute to lowering the appraised value on your property.
What is Commercial Property Tax Appeal?
