In 2022, the Fort Bend County ARB held 27,233 ARB hearings.
Large owners have a tax consultant. Do You?
Based on a $3 billion value drop at the ARB, protests against the ARB resulted in significant savings for Fort Bend County, estimated to be $9 million in 2022. In all, the owner saved money on taxes as a result of 57% of ARB protests. Homeowners prevailed in 55% of ARB protests, compared to 72% for owners of commercial and business personal property.
Large property owners know how to manipulate the system to lower their property taxes. In 2022, owners appealed 33% of the value of commercial and business personal property and 69% of the multifamily property's total worth. However, only 35% of the yearly value of the residence is protested, with the majority of appeals being to accounts that are worth more than average. To have a yearly property tax expert represent you, you don't need to own a mansion.
