What are your options when a fair value cannot be reached through the Appraisal Review
Board (ARB)? To ensure equal and fair treatment under the tax law, you have
the right litigate your case in District Court. In many cases, this becomes
a viable option to maintaining a fair assessment value on your property, and preventing
you from paying excessive property taxes.

“As a San Antonio attorney with over 29 years of litigation experience, I have had the
opportunity to work closely with J.L. Gross & Company in the handling of appeals of
ad valorem tax decisions issued by various County Appraisal Districts. I have seen
first-hand the professionalism and competence exhibited by J.L. Gross & Company in
the managing of these appeals for the benefit of many property owners. J.L. Gross &
Company has a proven track record in successfully challenging tax values assessed by
these Appraisal Districts, and in obtaining much lower property values (resulting in
large tax savings) for its commercial and residential property owner clients.”
