Both approaches are better than doing nothing. The real question is whether you want to trade 35% of your savings for someone else managing the process.
If you are willing to spend 30–60 minutes filing a protest with professional-quality evidence, you keep over $1,000 more over three years with our flat-fee approach. If you genuinely want a managed experience with live consultant access and are okay with the 35% fee, PropertyTax.io removes the effort entirely. Either way, you are reducing your property taxes — and that is the most important part.
PropertyTax.io charges 35% of whatever tax savings they achieve on your behalf. There is no upfront fee — you only pay if they successfully reduce your property taxes. On $1,100 in savings, that works out to $385 per year.
PropertyTax.io provides a fully managed service with live consultant access, which saves significant time and effort. However, the 35% fee compounds over multiple years. On $1,100 annual savings over 3 years, you pay $1,155 to PropertyTax.io versus $49 one-time with our DIY approach. Whether that convenience is worth $1,076 over three years depends on how you value your time.
