They have been very helpful. We’ve been able to save about $2000 over the last two years.

I signed up and realized I can do more than what they can do, so I cancelled within 24 hrs via email and phone call. I got the email about the cancellation. Surprisingly , when I went to appeal my taxes, Ownwell had already claimed on my account that they are my agent, and now I had to go through the removal process with my tax district which is a long process. I don't recommend this company as this behavior seems to be super imposed and aggressive. It's like they want to OWN you WELL if you make the mistake to sign up.

Dont sign their "contract" and dont use these guys! They will deny you gave proper notification to cancel even if you sent them an email "two months in advance". They'll claim you didnt send it a specific email address for cancelations.

They do not know how to protest Multifamily property taxes! Worst experience ever! They convinced me to switch my apartment portfolio to them and on the initial appeals they got zero reductions which hurt my chances later. Working with Ownwell cost me $500K in extra taxes across my portfolio and it was the worse decision ever. They may be good for single family, but definitely not commercial or multifamily. They don't have the relationships needed with the county or the knowledge. You've been warned.

I tried appealing my property taxes in san francisco during 2023 when my bill was clearly over market as the market was in the toilet. i'm a realtor & have a handle on the market but felt too busy to spearhead it myself. they spent nearly 3 years doing the appeal, lost it completely/recovered nothing & refused to appeal. even though i know for a fact that the city commonly issues refunds in this situation.

Before enrolling in the Ownwell service, thoroughly read their service agreement. They help reduce your property assessment, but they don’t disclose that after that, it’s your responsibility to get a refund from the county. They pre-calculate the fees based on the new assessment and collect them from you even if you don’t receive a refund.

Fully useless. I should have claimed my own protest and the least is anyway they'll reduce 5K just for the sake of claim even though the county does not agree with the proofs you carry. The same thing this junk company did, calculated the tax for that 5K and charged 25% of it from me.
