Texas Property Tax Authority
About Michael Saegert
Michael Saegert, Attorney at Law is a specialized legal practice dedicated exclusively to property tax law. With over 25 years of experience, Michael Saegert has established himself as a go-to authority for property owners in Houston and across Texas who are facing unfair appraisals. A native Texan born in Austin, Michael began his legal career in 1997 after graduating from South Texas College of Law. His unique insight comes from his early career experience: he served as an in-house counsel for the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD). This background gives him an invaluable perspective-he knows exactly how the appraisal districts operate, how they value property, and where their vulnerabilities lie. 🏠
Operating from his office in the West University Place area, Michael provides a level of personal service that large tax consulting firms cannot match. He operates on a simple philosophy: ”Where others only see problems, I find solutions.” Unlike non-attorney property tax consultants, Michael has the legal authority to take cases to court if an administrative appeal fails. This ability to litigate provides significant leverage during negotiations. He represents a wide range of clients, from individual homeowners to large commercial businesses and even governmental entities, ensuring that everyone pays their fair share of taxes and nothing more. 📊
Areas of Expertise
The firm focuses solely on property tax issues, allowing for deep expertise in this niche field.
- Property Tax Protests: Representing clients before Appraisal Review Boards (ARB) to challenge excessive market value assessments.
- Appraisal Litigation: Filing judicial appeals in district court when administrative remedies do not yield a fair result.
- Exemption Issues: Assisting clients in securing homestead, agricultural, and charitable exemptions that have been wrongfully denied.
- Delinquent Tax Matters: Helping property owners navigate the complexities of back taxes and penalties to save their property.
- Omitted Property Disputes: Defending against attempts by appraisal districts to retroactively tax property.
Why Hire Michael Saegert?
Michael Saegert works on a contingency fee basis for most tax protest cases, meaning his fee is a percentage of the tax savings he generates for you. If he doesn’t save you money, you don’t pay a fee. This risk-free model aligns his interests perfectly with yours. He offers free initial consultations to evaluate your property’s assessment and determine if a protest is viable. As a solo practitioner, he ensures that every client receives his undivided attention and the full benefit of his quarter-century of experience. Don’t let the appraisal district overcharge you; hire a former insider to fight for your rights. 💰
