Our Pricing

No Reduction — No Fee

ZapMyTax operates on a pure contingency model. We only get paid when you save money. It's that simple.

“No Reduction = NO FEE.
I Guarantee It.”

We take on all the risk so you don't have to. If we don't lower your property tax assessment, you owe us absolutely nothing — not a single penny.

Questions

Common Fee Questions

Everything you need to know about how our pricing works.

When do I pay?

You only pay after your property tax grievance is successful and your assessment has been reduced. There is no payment due at sign-up, during the process, or if we don't achieve a reduction. Our fee is billed after results are confirmed.

What if there's no reduction?

If we are unable to reduce your property tax assessment, you owe us absolutely nothing. That's our guarantee. We take on all the risk so you can challenge your taxes with zero financial exposure.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. Our contingency fee covers everything: property evaluation, filing, hearings, negotiations, and follow-up. There are no administrative fees, qualification fees, or surprise charges of any kind.

What does the fee cover?

Our fee covers the entire grievance process from start to finish — property analysis, comparable sales research, all paperwork preparation, grievance filing with the county, hearing representation, and ongoing communication throughout your case.
