Frequently Asked Questions
What does Ownwell do?
Ownwell specializes in property tax reduction for homeowners, small businesses, and real estate investors. To help save you money, Ownwell will evaluate your current appraised value and perform a comparative market analysis. We'll then prepare and file evidence on your behalf and attend any hearings with your tax assessor to get a reduction.
After completing your assessment appeal, we'll continue to monitor your property's future assessments and will appeal again if your taxes increase.
What is Ownwell’s success rate?
Our success rate varies across geographies. We typically achieve successful reductions in 86% of our cases, with those reductions leading to an average savings of $1,102 on their property tax bills since joining Ownwell.
