Property Tax Partners

What Property Tax Partners does

Property Tax Partners LLP is a Houston-headquartered property tax consulting firm that delivers specialist valuation, compliance, appeal, audit, planning, and advisory services to industrial and commercial clients across the energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, telecom, and food & beverage sectors. The firm is organized around six core service lines — Property Tax Assessment Reviews, Compliance Assistance, Appeals and Negotiations, Property Tax Planning Strategies, Audit Support, and Advisory Services — supplemented by an Outsource Assistance offering that provides full-cycle, recurring property tax management for clients without an internal tax department. Delivery is led by Managing Directors and Senior Property Tax Managers with 20+ years of experience from Big Four advisory firms (Duff & Phelps, EY, Deloitte, KPMG) and Texas appraisal districts, deployed across four Texas offices (Houston, Frisco, Fort Worth, Plano) with active multi-state engagements spanning Oklahoma, Louisiana, and the Southeastern US.

The core technology is professional expertise rather than a software platform: valuation methodologies including RCNLD (Reproduction Cost New Less Depreciation) modeling, functional and external obsolescence analysis, ghost asset analysis, useful life studies, and exemption/RENEWAL optimization, applied to mineral rights, process units, generation assets, renewables, telecom infrastructure, pipelines, and manufacturing equipment. Service economics are driven by professional consulting fees under three flexible structures (fixed, contingency, and hybrid) on multi-year engagements, with contingency pricing directly aligning the firm with client tax-savings outcomes. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: direct engagement with industrial and mid-market clients, supported by content marketing through the firm website and blog, association presence in IPT/COPAS/OATR, and industry conference speaking. The firm has not pursued external funding or M&A and operates as an independent, founder-led LLP.

Core offering

Property Tax Partners is a Texas-based property tax consulting firm that delivers specialized services for industrial and commercial clients across energy, manufacturing, telecom, and infrastructure sectors. The firm offers six core service lines — assessment reviews, compliance assistance, appeals and negotiations, planning strategies, audit support, and advisory services — plus a full-cycle outsource assistance offering for clients lacking internal tax departments. Services are delivered by senior consultants and former appraisal district staff who handle multi-jurisdictional property tax matters including valuation, exemption maximization, protest representation, and portfolio management.

Product overview

Property Tax Partners offers a comprehensive suite of property tax consulting services delivered as a unified service offering rather than a software platform. The core portfolio consists of six primary service lines: Property Tax Assessment Reviews, Compliance Assistance, Appeals and Negotiations, Property Tax Planning Strategies, Audit Support, and Advisory Services. These services are designed to work both independently and in combination—clients can engage for specific needs like a single assessment review or ongoing protest representation, or they can subscribe to Outsource Assistance for full-cycle property tax management. The company specializes in serving energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and industrial sectors across Texas and select national markets.
