- Couldn't have been easier. I just gave them my address and they took it from there. No filing appeals or spending hours to prepare for a hearing to defend my value. Ownwell does it all, no doubt better than I could have done myself. Saved $1500 on my property taxes. Highly recommend.  
  **Christopher D.**

- The Ownwell team is amazing. The process is all online. Their system is easy to use and they know local tax codes and authorities and they know how to work with appraisal districts to fairly represent homeowners. They were able to successfully get a SIGNIFICANT reduction in property taxes for us.  
  **Rick R.**

- Ownwell was a very easy process. I uploaded my documents and they took care of everything. As a first time homeowner I had no idea how to fight my property taxes.  
  **Jessica J.**

- Easy to sign up and great result on savings. I worked with other companies before which require flat fees for the services and no guaranty on savings. Ownwell charges you only when your property tax is reduced. There is nothing to lose and we all love win-win!  
  **W Liang**

- It was incredibly easy to work with Ownwell. This was my first time using them. Their online portal was easy to navigate, and they only reached out via e-mail when an important update or required information was necessary. They were successful at reducing my property tax bill. I'd definitely work with them in the future!  
  **Brian P.**

- The protest process through Ownwell was very smooth and easy. They took care of reducing my property tax bill significantly. It is risk-free because you pay them only after you get your property taxes reduced.  
  **Tom T.**

- Wow, that was insanely easy and totally worth it! Ownwell got my tax appraisal reduced by almost $400k, saving me almost $6k in cold hard cash. 🤑 And I never wrote a letter, nor made a call, nor met with anyone! 🤯

### Frequently Asked Questions

**What does Ownwell do?**

Ownwell specializes in property tax reduction for homeowners, small businesses, and real estate investors. To help save you money, Ownwell will evaluate your current appraised value and perform a comparative market analysis. We'll then prepare and file evidence on your behalf and attend any hearings with your tax assessor to get a reduction.

After completing your assessment appeal, we'll continue to monitor your property's future assessments and will appeal again if your taxes increase.

**Are there specific costs and fee structures?**

Ownwell charges 35% of the first-year savings plus a $20 fee if we secure a three-year assessment freeze. Due to Georgia's 85/15 rule, your first-year bill may show minimal savings while the county retains most reductions. However, you'll receive full savings in years 2 and 3 of the freeze. We only charge our percentage on actual Year 1 savings received, not the total reduction amount. Learn more about the 85/15 rule [here](/content/blog/georgia-property-tax-bills-payments-appeal/index.html).

**What is Ownwell’s success rate?**

Our success rate varies across geographies. We typically achieve successful reductions in **88%** of our cases, with those reductions leading to an average savings of **$774** on their property tax bills since joining Ownwell.
