The Appraisal District collects detailed descriptions of each taxable property within its jurisdiction. It then classifies properties according to a variety of factors such as size, use, and construction type. Using comparable sales, income, and/or cost data, an appraiser determines what they think the property is worth.

Evidence may include recent repair estimates, photographs, and any supporting documentation that justifies a reduced property valuation. Novel PTG also leverages a comprehensive database to compare sales and equity of surrounding properties, highlighting their differences to effectively challenge the mass appraisal methods commonly used by many Appraisal Districts.

The duration of the dispute process can vary, but it generally takes several weeks to a few months, depending on the complexity of the case and the schedule of the appraisal review board. Most hearings take place between May and August

Arbitration and Litigation are options to further pursue a reduction after the appraisal review board makes a value decision. Once a hearing is complete, it is reviewed to determine if a lawsuit will be beneficial for the property owner. This is typically the case if the property is still over valued by at least$100,000.
