TaxValueCheck

Terms of Service

Last updated: August 15, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the TaxValueCheck website and the services described below. By using TaxValueCheck, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

1. What TaxValueCheck offers

TaxValueCheck helps homeowners understand their Harris County, Texas property-tax situation. We offer:

  • A free property-tax check. Enter a property address and we show the property's public appraisal record — market/appraised/taxable values, exemptions, homestead-cap status, an effective-tax-rate estimate, and an honest assessment of whether an appeal looks worthwhile.
  • A paid "Detailed Appeal Analysis" (currently $59, one-time). For one property, we prepare a detailed analysis that includes: a sales-based market-value estimate using recent comparable sales from third-party property-data sources, an appeal / no-appeal recommendation, an estimate of potential annual savings, and a PDF report you can review and (if you choose) use as background when preparing a protest. Each analysis includes human review of the comparable sales used.

All results are informational estimates, not guarantees (see Section 4).

2. Using the service

You must be at least 18 years old to use TaxValueCheck. You agree to use the service lawfully and to provide accurate information (such as the correct property address and your own email address when purchasing).

3. Payment and delivery of the Detailed Appeal Analysis

  • Price: $59 USD per analysis, a one-time purchase (no subscription).
  • Payment: Payments are processed securely by Stripe, our payment processor. We do not receive or store your card details. By purchasing, you agree to Stripe's terms as the processor of your payment.
  • What you need to provide: At checkout you provide your email address (required for delivery). To prepare your analysis, we need the property address — if we do not already have it from your session, you can reply to your receipt email or contact support with the address.
  • Delivery: We target same-day delivery of your PDF report by email (in practice, typically within one business day of receiving both payment and the property address). "Same-day" means the same calendar day when the order is complete early enough to be processed; orders completed late in the day may be delivered the next business day.
  • What's in the report: comparable-sales data and adjustments, an estimated market-value range, an appeal/no-appeal recommendation, an estimated-savings figure, and the reasoning behind each — along with the caveats and data limitations.

4. Estimates, not guarantees

TaxValueCheck's results are estimates based on public records and third-party data (including county appraisal records and comparable-sales data). They are not a guarantee that:

  • your property is over-assessed,
  • an appeal will succeed,
  • your taxes will be reduced, or
  • the estimated savings will be realized.

An appeal can result in no change, a smaller reduction than estimated, or (in rare cases) an increase. Tax rates, exemptions, and appraisals change. Always verify the figures in any report against the official records before acting.

5. Not legal, tax, or appraisal advice

TaxValueCheck is an informational tool. Nothing we provide is legal, tax, or appraisal advice, and no attorney-client, tax-advisor, or appraiser relationship is created by using the service. Property-tax protest procedures vary by jurisdiction and are subject to deadlines. If you need legal, tax, or appraisal advice, please consult a licensed professional (for example, an attorney, CPA/enrolled agent, or licensed appraiser) who can advise on your specific situation.

6. Human review

Every paid Detailed Appeal Analysis includes a human review pass in which a member of our team checks the comparable sales used, evaluates whether they are appropriate and arms-length, and confirms the analysis before delivery.

7. Refunds and cancellation

Because the Detailed Appeal Analysis is a one-time service (not a subscription), "cancellation" simply means not purchasing.

Refund policy:

  • Full refund if we cannot deliver a usable analysis. If we cannot produce an analysis for your property (for example, because there are not enough recent comparable sales to support a market-value estimate), we will tell you and refund your purchase in full.
  • Refund for material errors. If our analysis contains a material error that we cannot correct, contact us within 14 days of purchase and we will review and, where the error is confirmed, refund the purchase price in full.
  • Requests within 14 days. If you are unsatisfied for any other reason, contact support within 14 days of purchase; we will review your request in good faith and may offer a refund at our discretion.
  • After 14 days or after the report has been delivered and used, refunds are not available except for the cases above.

To request a refund, email support at taxvaluecheck@mail.com with the email address used at checkout and the property address. We will process approved refunds back to the original payment method.

8. Our data sources and their limitations

We use public records and third-party data, including: Harris Central Appraisal District (HCAD) public appraisal records, comparable-sales data from property-data providers, and Harris County public deed records. These sources may contain errors or be incomplete or out of date. Our analysis is only as accurate as the underlying data.

9. Acceptable use

You may use the free check and your purchased report for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not: resell or redistribute our reports or data without permission; attempt to scrape, bulk-harvest, or reverse-engineer the service; or use the service for any unlawful purpose.

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

THE SERVICE AND ALL RESULTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ACCURACY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TaxValueCheck'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE (OR $59, IF YOU DID NOT PAY). TaxValueCheck IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
