Are you kidding me? "Easy, quick signup". NOT. I am so frustrated with their stupid website. I'm finally bailing. They're asking 1000 questions to "lower my property insurance" and "lower my bills". I do not want ANY of that. I wanted simply to protest my property value. I DEEPLY regret falling for their mailer. Update: I received I communication. Even though I did not finish, *think* they are protesting my value now. We'll see what happens. One other thing: do not let them "File exemptions (like homeowner's and senior) for you". That is free and super easy to get--just ask your appraisal district, which you can get online. Make sure you get the official govt one though; too many out there trying to "help" you for a fee. Trust me, you do NOT need help to get an exemption. You do not want to be paying Ownwell for something that is already your right to have, and very easily obtained. I need to cancel as soon as my protest is done bc otherwise they'll automatically sign me up again. Very deceptive.

I filed a property tax protest and found Ownwell Inc. as the protesting agent. I did not request them. I called them and they said the co-owner signed a contract with them. By answering questions they provided to “see if they could lower our property taxes” turned into a contract on our house. I'm sure these scams are prevalent. I didn't receive a response from the county to my own protest, so I looked up the protest and saw these parasites on my own protest form. They said they will be sending me an invoice if my property value goes down. So, the info I’m providing to the county goes on their protest and then Ownwell will charge me for my own work. I spoke to them again and they admitted they get complaints from people who did not intend to enter a contract when gave their name and address. Their response, “we will be invoicing you if your property value goes down.”

The letter sent looked very official, however they comparables he sent would never be acceptable to a tax assessor. I have 35 years of experience in the real estate industry and this is just another example of companies trying to get a consumer to pay for something a realtor will do for free.

I started signing up with Ownwell to protest my property taxes. Halfway through, I wanted to think about it some more so I decided to cancel. There was no link on the sight to let you cancel once you start the application. I sent a message to the contact us link. The next day I got an email saying it's to late, we've already started working on your on your property taxes. Word of caution, PLEASE DO NOT start filling out the application if you're not completely sure that you want your taxes challenged. Once you put in your personal information there's no turning back.

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.
