Use the owner's name as it appears on the appraisal notice. That is the name that goes on the Appointment of Agent form.
What happens next
The Fortress Tax Defense agreement, sent for electronic signature, and the Appointment of Agent for Property Tax Matters (Comptroller Form 50-162). Both are signed online in a few minutes.
The signed appointment lets our attorneys protest in your name. The attorney handling your case is one of the owners of Fortress Tax Defense, and you will know their name from day one. We pull the district's evidence, build ours, and file before the deadline.
We argue the protest at the Appraisal Review Board and, if we believe there are still possible savings, file in district court under the same fee arrangement — no fee unless we win.
What you are signing
Our fee is a share of what we save you, at the protest or in court. No reduction, no fee. Everything else is in plain English on the agreement itself.
The state-promulgated form every appraisal district requires before anyone can act for an owner. It names Fortress Tax Defense as your agent for property tax matters and nothing else. You can revoke it at any time.
Pick a time with one of our protesting attorneys, or call.
Questions owners ask
Licensed Texas attorneys. Your case is prepared and argued by an attorney, not a call center or a form-filler. When you call or email Fortress Tax Defense, you reach one of the owners of the firm, the attorney who will personally handle your case.
Our fee is 30% of the tax savings we win for you, at the protest or in court. If there is no reduction, there is no invoice. That has been the arrangement every season since 2020.
If we believe there are still possible savings after the Appraisal Review Board protest, we can file in district court under the same fee arrangement. Most firms stop at the hearing. We don’t.

No. One Appointment of Agent per property and one agreement cover the lot, in every county you own in. Fortress Tax Defense files in every county, argues every hearing, and takes the ones worth taking to district court.
