The Tea Bill
40% of the tax you save. Nothing if we don't.
No signup fee. No minimum. No annual fee. No charge for the homestead filing. It costs nothing to sign up. You only pay us if we save you money.

Two ways a year ends
Same four lines, either way.
If the number comes down
| Value the county removed | $33,762 |
| Off that year's tax bill | $733 |
| Our fee, 40% | $293 |
| You keep | $440 |
If we held the line
| Value the county removed | $0 |
| Off that year's tax bill | $0 |
| Our fee | $0 |
| You owe | Nothing |
Bluebonnet
We're not the cheapest.
Some firms charge less. Bluebonnet isn't free, and she carries Revere to every one of Texas's 254 counties. Building a case properly costs more than filing a form and waiting.
If the cheapest percentage in Texas is what you want, it isn't us, and we'll tell you so. If you want the case built properly, argued by a person, and billed only after a win, that's us.
Before you ask
Answered here.
- What is the Tea Bill?
- Our invoice. It shows what you saved, our part, and what you keep, in that order. It arrives once, later in the year, only after the county's number changes.
- When do I actually pay?
- After the county confirms your reduction, and after we've shown you the arithmetic. We tell you the charge date in advance and nothing happens before it. That's usually late in the year, months after the protest is settled.
- What if my value goes up next year?
- It probably will, values in Texas generally rise. Our job is to make sure the number the county lands on is defensible. We review it again every spring and protest when we think we can bring it down. In a year where the county's number looks right, we won't file, and you won't hear a sales pitch from us about it.
- Do you protest every single year?
- No, and that's deliberate. We look at your number every year, but we only file when we think we can actually win. Filing a protest we don't expect to win costs you time, puts nothing in your pocket, and burns credibility with the appraisal district we have to go back to for every other client. When we decide not to file, we tell you why.
- Do I have to re-sign every year?
- No, and you should know why. The Form 50-162 we prepare carries no end date, so it doesn't expire on its own. It stays on file with the appraisal district until you cancel it, and Texas allows only one agent on a property at a time. That's what makes this a sign-once arrangement rather than an annual chore. It also means you're not prompted to reconsider each year, so we'd rather you hear it from us: you can cancel any time, in your account or with one form to the county, and we'll file it for you if you ask.
- How do I cancel?
- In your account, in one click, or call us. We file the revocation with the county and confirm when it's processed. No notice period, no fee, and nothing owed unless we've already won you a reduction that year.
- Is the homestead exemption really free?
- Yes. There's no charge for it and there never will be. You can also file it yourself at the appraisal district for nothing. We'll tell you how if you'd rather. Most people just don't get around to it.
