Most owners notice their assessment, mean to do something, and miss the deadline.
For property tax consultants
Property tax appeal clients, reached before the protest deadline.
Every year, many homeowners and investors pay tax on assessments higher than their property is worth, and most never appeal. Spur helps you reach owners in your counties before the protest window closes, with a personal note about their property and a QR code to sign up.

The problem
The protest window is short, and owners forget.
Homeowners get stacks of identical protest flyers in notice season. Generic mail blends in.
Landlords with several properties benefit most, but you have to win them back every single year.

AI draft for Ray H. · 4417 Cedar Elm Dr
Hi Ray,
Your 2027 appraisal notice for 4417 Cedar Elm Drive should arrive soon. In your neighborhood, a number of homes are assessed above what similar homes have recently sold for, and owners who don't protest simply pay the higher amount.
We handle the entire protest for you: reviewing comparable sales, filing before the deadline, and representing you at the hearing. You only pay a percentage of what we actually save you, and nothing if we don't reduce your taxes.
Scan the code to sign up in about three minutes. Results vary, and we'll tell you honestly if your assessment looks fair.

How property tax consultants find more appeal clients
Property tax appeals are seasonal and deadline-driven. Assessment notices go out, owners have a limited window to protest, and then the opportunity is gone for the year. Your marketing needs to reach owners just before or as their notice arrives, and make signing up easy enough to finish before the deadline.
Choose your list by situation. Recent buyers whose purchase price was below the new assessment, owners in neighborhoods where assessments jumped, investors with several properties, and out-of-state owners who may miss local notices are all strong prospects. Where county records include assessed values, you can compare them with property characteristics to prioritize.
Be clear and honest. Explain how your process works, how your fee is calculated, and that results vary. Never guarantee a reduction. Some states regulate tax consultants directly; Texas, for example, requires property tax consultants to register. Check your state's rules and include any required registration information.
Retention is the long game. A client you help this year is a candidate again next year, and investors often bring several properties. An automated pre-deadline reminder to past clients is one of the most profitable campaigns you can run.

FAQ
Questions from property tax consultants
When should I mail property tax appeal offers?
Just before or as assessment notices arrive, so owners have time to sign up before the protest deadline. Spur's automations can schedule this each year.
Does Spur include assessed values?
Many county records include assessed values, which you can use alongside property characteristics to prioritize owners. Coverage varies by county.
Can I promise savings in my mail?
No. Explain your process and fees, and make clear that results vary. Guarantees can mislead owners and may break your state's rules.
Do I need to be registered to offer appeal services?
It depends on your state. Some, like Texas, require property tax consultants to register. Check your state's requirements.
Can I target landlords with several properties?
Yes. Filter for absentee owners with multiple properties to offer a portfolio appeal service.
