The Process
Effortless tax reduction in three simple steps.
County appraisals often climb faster than the real market. We challenge that inflated number — keeping your home's value competitive with comparable properties nearby.
1. Sign Up with Ease
It takes just a few minutes. Tell us a bit about you and your property, and our team will reach out immediately.
2. We Handle Your Protest
Our experts challenge the county's overinflated value — forcing the appraisal district to prove their number or lower it — using comparable nearby properties and deep local market data.
3. You Save Money
A lower appraised value means a lower tax bill. You pay less every year and keep more of your hard-earned money.
Homestead Exemption
The simplest way to lock in lower property taxes.
A homestead exemption immediately reduces your home's taxable value — often saving hundreds to thousands of dollars a year — caps how fast your appraised value can climb, and ensures your home is taxed as your primary residence, not an investment property.
Long-Term Protection
With a homestead exemption in place, your home's appraised value can't rise more than 10% per year — even when the market spikes. Your tax bill stays predictable.
The 2-Year Clawback
Didn't file in time? You can apply retroactively for up to two prior tax years. The county issues a refund check for the taxes you overpaid — and you lock in the capped value going forward.
One-Time Filing, Lifetime Benefit
File once and the exemption renews automatically for as long as you live in the home. There's no paperwork to repeat year after year.
The Homeowner Advantage
Pair your homestead exemption with a professional protest every single year and the savings compound. Here's what working with S.T.A.R. puts in your corner:
- A lower starting value on your home
- A capped yearly increase — 10% maximum
- A retroactive refund your first year (up to 2 years back)
- Annual value reviews that keep your assessment low
- Maximum long-term protection for your equity
