A signal worth a protest, and no guarantee. Your own records decide your case.
How It Works
Three steps. The first is free.
Check Your Assessment
Paste your notice or enter your address. Abate sets your assessed value per square foot beside comparable homes and tells you plainly whether it looks high.
Get Your Appeal Packet
For a flat $39, you get your county's protest steps, the form, the deadlines and a drafted letter you review and edit.
File It Yourself
You send the appeal by portal or certified mail. The district came with comps and a model. You arrive with comps of your own.
One Flat Fee
Contingency firms keep a share of what you save, often 25–50% of the first year [[REAL PROOF NEEDED]]. Abate charges $39 once, and the savings stay with you.
Honest About the Odds
Many protests win some reduction, and many win none. Abate shows a range with its basis and names what it couldn't check.
You File It
Abate hands you the plan and the letter. You sign it, send it and stay in charge of your own case.
