All hearings are determined by the market value, and the time dedicated to filing a protest and preparing for the hearing remains consistent, whether the appraised value is capped or not. We charge based on the greater of:
1. The difference between the noticed and final appraised value, multiplied by the prior year's tax rate, and then multiplied by a contingency fee.
2. $5 for every $1,000 reduction in market value in cases where the account is appraised as limited or "capped."
