Same $99/year packet. You file with WCAD.

What this is

A $99/year DIY packet. The owner files.

KeepTheCut sells a document packet so you can protest Williamson County yourself. We are not a registered property-tax consultant under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1152. We do not represent you, negotiate with WCAD, attend informal conferences or ARB hearings, take a power of attorney, or file Form 50-132 for you. We do not guarantee a reduction. County appraisal districts — not KeepTheCut — set the values on notices and bills.

Official WCAD

File with Williamson Central Appraisal District.

WCAD’s owner path is Online Protest Filing on wcad.org when the notice shows an Online Passcode. Search the property, register the passcode / Quick Ref ID, and file in the online appeals system. Paper Form 50-132 goes to WCAD in Georgetown, not the tax office and not the Comptroller.

The math

Agents bill a cut of the save. We bill a document.

About 3.00 million Texas protests were filed in 2024 (3,004,940), from Comptroller figures compiled by O’Connor.[1] The market is real. The fee structure is the fight. These are other companies’ published figures, not KeepTheCut results.

Ownwell (their figures)

25%

of first-year savings in Texas, per Ownwell’s own cost-breakdown writing.[2] They market ~$774 average annual savings[3] and other Ownwell pages cite ~$606 median.[4]

25% of $606 is about $152 — more than $99.

O’Connor (their terms)

~50%

of first-year savings. O’Connor’s site: pay half of first-year property tax savings; they file and attend the hearing.[5]

Half of $606 is about $303.

KeepTheCut

$99/year

per property. You file. You keep 100% of any savings. SquareDeal DIY comps are $69[6] — we charge more because the packet includes the filing worksheet, county portal steps, and deadline-reminder workflow.

SquareDeal has published Harris County figures claiming a 2025 DIY median assessed-value reduction of $20,640 versus $13,202 for agent-represented protests. That is their claim from their dataset, not a KeepTheCut finding, and it is not a prediction for your house.[7]
