Revenue model

1. Contingency-Based Property Tax Protest Representation: The company operates on a contingency fee model — clients pay 50% of the estimated tax savings achieved through administrative hearings. If no savings are achieved in a given year, no fees are charged. The agreement renews annually until cancelled with 60 days' written notice.
2. Takeover Fee for Mid-Process Representation: For clients who filed their own protest and wish Republic to take over representation, there is an upfront fee of $50. The company will not take over if the formal protest hearing is scheduled within 2 weeks of registration.
3. Invoice-Based Professional Services: For non-contingency or litigation matters, payments are due within 30 days of invoice. Interest of 1.5% per month applies after 30 days, along with costs of collection and attorney's fees. A 3% processing fee applies for credit card payments.

• Commercial Property Tax Appeals Property tax protest and appeal representation for owners of commercial income-producing properties (shopping centers, office buildings, industrial facilities) in Texas.

• Business Personal Property (BPP) Tax Protests Property tax protest and appeal services for Texas business owners who own tangible personal property such as computers, machinery, furniture, and equipment. Republic Property Tax handles rendition preparation (annual April 15 filing) and protests the assessed value of depreciated tangible assets.
• Property Tax Arbitration Binding arbitration representation for Texas property tax disputes after an Appraisal Review Board hearing. Republic Property Tax prepares and presents the binding arbitration case, providing a faster, more cost-effective alternative to district court litigation.
