In Our Clients’ Words
“I was optimistic that your efforts with HCAD were going to be successful, but I was not expecting to have Lane Property Tax Associates exceed my expectations. I am truly impressed with how easy you guys are to work with, as well as how efficient the process was. I will indeed continue to use your services in the coming years."
— Ryan Cropper
“Our taxes had been lowered from $23,571.01 to $18,279.34. Big difference of $5,291.67. I am so glad you succeeded to lower the taxes. We greatly appreciate your work and diligence.”
— Kris Gilmer
“The Lane team’s attention to detail and the personal approach make them easy to work with. A lot of tax firms are huge, and you don’t always get personal attention like you do with Lane. It’s always better when you communicate with someone working on your file, not just someone taking the call to whom you’re just a number.”
– Andrew Estes
