What we do

HostTaxDefense.com compares a property's county assessment with sales of similar nearby properties and prepares documents an owner can use to file their own appeal. We don't file appeals for you, act as your agent, or appear at hearings.

Where the numbers come from

Assessed values, property details and recorded sales come from the county's own published records (Mecklenburg and Iredell counties). Records can contain errors. Check the details against your county notice before you file.

No guarantee

The county decides every appeal. A score or savings estimate on this site is not a promise that your value will change or that your taxes will go down.

Not legal or tax advice

Nothing on this site is legal or tax advice. If your property has an unusual situation, or you want representation at a hearing, talk to a North Carolina attorney.

The appeal packet

The packet is a PDF built from the county's records for one property: the comparable sales and how they were chosen, the county's record to check, filing steps for that county, and a cover letter for the owner to review and sign. It is an evidence summary, not an appraisal, and it is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. You can see a sample packet before you buy.

We sell a packet only when nearby sales show the county's value is higher than they support. Payment is handled by Stripe; we never see your card number.

Refunds

If you're not satisfied with your packet, email [email protected] within 30 days of purchase with your order number and we'll refund it in full.

Complaints

Send any complaint to [email protected]. We reply within two business days.
