INTERFACE REFERENCE❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) & Operational Guide
16 DETAILED ARTICLES1. What is Dual-Track Assessment and why does it increase protest success?
County appraisal districts often defend notices by claiming market values are accurate. Dual-track analysis simultaneously attacks the valuation on two distinct legal grounds: (1) Market Value Disparity (comparable sales), and (2) Statutory Unequal Appraisal (comparing notice values across neighbor properties). Even if market sales support the county's price, winning on the Uniformity clause legally forces the appraisal district to lower your assessment.
2. How is Market Value Disparity (Exhibit A) calculated?
Exhibit A identifies verified arms-length transactions within a 0.5-mile radius occurring within the prior tax year. It calculates price-per-square-foot ratios, applies adjustments for size and condition variances, and presents an indicated market value average to the Appraisal Review Board.
3. How is Statutory Equal & Uniform Ratio (Exhibit B) calculated under Section 42.26(a)(3)?
Under Texas Tax Code § 42.26(a)(3) and equivalent state uniformity provisions, the protest board must reduce an assessment if the property is appraised at a higher ratio than the median level of appraisal of an appropriately adjusted sample of comparable properties. Exhibit B extracts surrounding CAD parcel records and proves your notice $/sqft exceeds the neighborhood median.
4. What are the statutory annual property tax appeal deadlines by state?
• Texas: May 15, or 30 days after the notice of appraised value is delivered (whichever is later).
• California (Prop 8): July 2 to September 15 (or November 30 depending on county).
• Florida (VAB): Within 25 days following the mailing of the TRIM notice (typically mid-September).
• Georgia: Within 45 days of the assessment notice date.
• Illinois (Cook County): Within 30 days of the assessment opening date.
5. How does the Portfolio Batch Processor handle 10 to 500 parcels at once?
The Batch Engine accepts CSV or XLSX spreadsheets containing APNs, addresses, square footage, notice values, and millage rates. It executes parallel dual-track valuations across all uploaded parcels in seconds, computing cumulative tax relief across the entire portfolio.
6. What is included in the Master Appeal Workbook (.xlsx)?
The Master Appeal Workbook is compiled via openpyxl with native Excel formulas (=SUM(), =AVERAGE(), =F2-E2). It features an Executive Summary KPI header, per-parcel reduction breakdowns, and color-coded status tags for tax consultants.
7. How does the ZIP Archive Compiler bundle individual ARB Brief PDFs?
In addition to the Master Excel spreadsheet, the batch processor automatically compiles individual, standalone formal ARB Petition Brief PDFs for every single parcel in your portfolio and compresses them into a single downloadable ZIP archive.
8. How does Annual Tax Roll Surveillance (March–May) monitor CAD revaluations?
Appraisal districts release preliminary roll values between March and May. The Surveillance Engine monitors registered parcels against annual roll updates, computes year-over-year percentage increases, and generates automated protest alerts before the May 15 statutory deadline.
9. How does the ARB Win-Rate Statistical Model calculate settlement odds?
The model analyzes historical appraisal district outcomes across three resolution tiers: (1) Informal CAD Appraiser Conferences (78% settlement rate), (2) Formal ARB 3-Member Board Hearings (86.5% win rate), and (3) Binding Arbitration (92.5% prevail rate), factoring in evidentiary comp ranking.
10. What is the Coefficient of Dispersion (COD) and how does it prove county bias?
The Coefficient of Dispersion (COD) is the international IAAO statistical standard measuring appraisal uniformity. A sub-market COD above 15.0 indicates systemic appraisal regressive bias and uneven assessments, which provides powerful evidentiary leverage during ARB hearings.
11. What is the difference between Informal Conferences and Formal ARB Hearings?
• Informal Conference: A 15-minute 1-on-1 meeting with a county appraisal district staff appraiser who has authority to offer an immediate reduction agreement.
• Formal ARB Hearing: A quasi-judicial hearing before a 3-member citizen panel where both you and the county appraiser present formal evidence under oath.
12. How does the evidentiary 1–100 comp ranking score filter out non-viable sales?
The algorithm scores comps on a 1–100 scale using four weighted metrics: proximity to subject (35%), square footage variance (30%), sale date recency (20%), and property age/subdivision code (15%). Only comps scoring 80+ are admitted into Exhibit A.
13. How does offline perpetual license key verification work?
TaxAppeal Pro licenses use offline HMAC SHA-256 signatures format: TAXAPPEAL-<TIER>-<HASH>. License verification executes mathematically on localhost with zero internet connectivity required.
14. What are the differences between Homeowner ($79) and Consultant ($199) licenses?
• Homeowner License ($79 Perpetual): Unlimited single-property wizard appeals, PDF petition generation, and local surveillance for primary residences.
• Consultant License ($199 Perpetual): Unlimited portfolio batch processing (up to 500 parcels/run), Master Excel workbooks, ZIP archive bundling, and commercial client surveillance.
15. How do I file the generated Petition Brief with my county Appraisal Review Board?
Download the PDF brief generated in Step 3. Log in to your county's online portal (e.g. Harris County HCAD iFile, Dallas CAD uFile, Travis County Portal) or mail the printed brief along with your standard protest form (Form 50-132 in Texas) before the filing deadline.
16. Does TaxAppeal Pro support commercial, industrial, and multi-family portfolios?
Yes. The Portfolio Batch Engine and Equal & Uniform ratio engine support all commercial property codes including multi-family apartments, retail strip centers, industrial warehouses, and vacant commercial land parcels.
