property taxes are
still too high.

The spring informal appeal window closed March 27th — but you haven't lost your right to fight your assessment. Payment Under Protest lets you pay your December tax bill while formally contesting your property value. Same hearing. Same rights. Same potential savings.

When your November tax bill arrives, pay it under formal protest. You'll get the same hearing process as a spring appeal — and the same right to a refund if you win.

How Payment Under Protest Works →

Why we built this

Enough is enough.

Johnson County homeowners have watched their tax bills climb year after year. The appeal process exists for a reason — most people just don't know how to use it.

📈

Assessments go up every year

Johnson County has raised assessments aggressively. Most homeowners just accept it — but you don't have to.

🌀

The process is convoluted

Between confusing forms, legal deadlines, and county jargon, most people give up before they even start.

🔍

Hard to know if you have a case

Without access to comparable sales data and adjustment methodology, it's nearly impossible to tell if the county made a mistake — until now.

📬

You just receive a notice and pay

Every year a letter shows up with a higher number. No explanation. No context. Just an assumption that you'll comply.

⏱️

It takes too long to fight back

Gathering evidence, writing a protest letter, filling out forms — it used to take hours. We do it in minutes.

Everything you need to know about the appeal process.
