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.

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 Hearings
This is the preliminary stage of the protest process, where our team meets informally with the appraisal district staff to check if we can get a property reduction that meets our client’s expectations.
ARB Formal Hearings
If the case is not settled in an informal hearing, we move the appeal to a formal hearing with the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). Here, we present all the evidence we have gathered to support your claim and get an official order of determining protest, a critical piece to take it to a higher review.
Judicial Appeals
This is the last resort of the protest process if we feel that the ARB has not issued a fair verdict. We consult with the client prior to this stage to ask how aggressively they wish us to pursue the case. There are two options depending on the property’s value, arbitration, or litigation.

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.
