Discount Property Taxes, LLC is a property tax consulting firm founded by Stephen Maida, a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. With over 15 years of experience in protesting property tax values, Stephen brings a wealth of knowledge from his background in real estate development, construction, sales, property management, and consulting for both residential and commercial projects. This multifaceted expertise equips him with a unique advantage to effectively challenge county tax appraisers.
The firm specializes in property tax protests for both residential and commercial properties, including large institutional assets. Stephen Maida is a licensed Realtor, granting access to the multifamily and commercial real estate markets, including valuable comparative sales and rent data through the Austin Multiple Listing Service (MLS). His extensive relationships with local brokers and a robust database of comparable sales enhance the company’s ability to secure significant tax reductions for their clients.
Discount Property Taxes operates primarily within Travis, Williamson, and Bell Counties. The firm employs complex financial models to present compelling arguments to reduce tax valuations as low as possible. They offer a straightforward digital application process for clients to initiate a protest without the need for printing or scanning documents.
Acknowledging the increasing property values in Austin due to a real estate boom, the firm emphasizes that many properties might be overvalued, and property owners could benefit from their services. Their fee structure is competitive, charging only a percentage of tax savings, and they also provide discounts for multiple properties. By aligning their success with client savings, Discount Property Taxes seeks to be the go-to resource for homeowners and investors looking to navigate the complexities of property tax assessments.
