If you're a Texas homeowner and haven't filed a property tax protest, you're almost certainly overpaying. Host Jean Mitchell of Trilogy Real Estate sits down with Mickey Le, a property tax expert and partner at Ad Valorem Tax Management with 30 years of experience, to walk through everything you need to know before the May 15th deadline -- especially in Harris County.

What you'll learn:

✔️ Why you should protest your property taxes every single year -- and why not protesting almost guarantees you're leaving money on the table

✔️ The key deadlines: appraisal notices go out around April 17th in Harris County, and you have until May 15th to file your protest

✔️ How to request the county's own evidence 14 days before your hearing -- and what errors to look for, like misclassified living space or unfair comparable sales

✔️ Why contractor estimates for foundation or roof issues are powerful evidence, and how to check that your Homestead, Over-65, or Disabled Veteran exemptions are correctly applied

Mickey Le is a property tax consultant and partner at Ad Valorem Tax Management in Houston, Texas, with 30 years of experience helping homeowners reduce their property tax bills across Texas.
