Why JC Tax Group
We are not a large-volume filing shop. JC Tax Group is a local North Texas firm, made up of local people who take on fellow neighbors as clients. We treat every property with the same care and attention we would give our own. When you work with us, you get direct access to our team. No call centers, no automated software.
What sets us apart from most competitors is the combination of localized real estate knowledge and legal experience we bring to every case. We live in this area, we know this market, and we know our clients personally. That makes a real difference.
Our contingency model means your success is our success. If we don't reduce your appraised value, you owe us absolutely nothing.
Years of real estate experience inform every protest we file. We understand property conditions, market comparables, and what moves the needle, not just how to fill out a form.
Every client gets genuine attention from our local team. You will always know who is working on your property and where things stand.

FAQ
Any property owner in Texas can protest their appraised value. Whether you own a home, rental property, or commercial real estate, you have the right to challenge your appraisal district's assessed value every year.
We charge 30% of your first-year tax savings. Savings are calculated as the reduction in your appraised value multiplied by your applicable tax rate. There are no upfront fees whatsoever. If we don't achieve a reduction, you owe nothing. Payment is invoiced after your results are finalized.
The standard protest deadline in Texas is May 15th (or 30 days after your Notice of Appraised Value is delivered, whichever is later). Deadlines can vary slightly by county. Once you sign up with us, we handle all deadline tracking and filing.
When you submit your information online, you'll review and electronically agree to our engagement agreement. This document authorizes JC Tax Group to represent you before your appraisal district and the Appraisal Review Board, and spells out our 30% contingency fee. It's straightforward and transparent, and no payment is due at the time of signing.
The process typically runs from the time of filing (spring) through summer. Many protests are settled informally with the appraisal district; others proceed to an Appraisal Review Board hearing. We keep you informed every step of the way.
No. JC Tax Group handles all hearings on your behalf. You simply sign the engagement agreement and let us go to work. Most of our clients never have to attend anything.
Yes. We protest both residential and commercial properties. Whether it's your primary home, an investment property, or a business location, our team has the experience to build a strong case.
Absolutely. Having a homestead exemption — or any other exemption — does not disqualify you from protesting your appraised value. Exemptions reduce your taxable value by a set amount, but if your appraisal is still too high, there are savings to be found. We can protest the appraised value regardless of what exemptions are on your account, and a successful reduction benefits you on top of any exemption you already receive.

Owner & Managing Attorney
Meet Our Owner
Dennis "John" Collins is a licensed attorney in the State of Texas and the owner of JC Tax Group, LLC. John built this practice around a straightforward conviction: that property owners in North Texas deserve genuine, hands-on representation in the protest process — not just a form filed on their behalf by a high-volume service.
What sets John apart is a rare combination of legal expertise and deep real estate experience. He understands how properties are valued, what conditions affect market price, and how to present compelling evidence before an Appraisal Review Board — because he has worked in and around real estate long enough to know exactly what appraisers look for and where they get it wrong.
While JC Tax Group offers broader legal and tax services, property tax protest is the firm's primary specialty. John stays current on Tarrant County and North Texas market trends, comparable sales data, and the evolving standards appraisal districts apply — knowledge that translates directly into better results for clients.
JC Tax Group serves Tarrant County and regularly represents property owners in Denton, Dallas, Parker, Wise, Collin, and other surrounding North Texas counties.
John and his wife are proud residents of Keller, Texas, where they are raising their three children and are deeply involved in the community. The Collins family are enthusiastic supporters of the Keller Indians. You will find them cheering in the stands on Friday nights. When John works to lower your property taxes, he is working for the same community he calls home.
