Property tax disputes, argued by someone who has tried the case before.

The county's appraisal district had valued this 144-unit Houston apartment community at more than $13 million in each of two straight years — based on assumptions about rent, occupancy, and expenses rather than how the property actually performed. Once the case was built around the property's real income and expense numbers, the value came down by roughly half in both years, and both tax years were resolved together in a single settlement, without going to trial.

For more than a decade, Jordan Todd has represented Texas property owners in ad valorem tax disputes — as in-house and general counsel for property tax consulting firms, as co-founder of a homeowner-facing protest platform, and, for the past two years, through his own firm. That work has taken him across the state of Texas, from major metro appraisal districts to rural county boards, on thousands of property tax matters, including more than 200 cases carried through litigated negotiation to settlement.

All litigation and appeal work is handled through the Law Offices of Jordan M. Todd, PLLC, which has represented clients in contested property tax matters for more than two years. Earlier in his career, Jordan served as chief operating officer and general counsel for Ad Valorem Specialists in Dallas, and co-founded RealValueIQ, a web-based property tax protest platform built to help Texas homeowners understand and pursue their own valuation appeals — work that improved internal case-processing efficiency by 81% and delivered average client savings of roughly $612 per case.
