Ownwell

Ownwell helps homeowners and real estate investors reduce their property tax bills by automatically monitoring property assessments and filing appeals on their behalf when a home appears to be over-assessed relative to comparable properties, a process that traditionally required homeowners to research their own local assessment rules and file a formal appeal with limited guidance on whether doing so was even worthwhile. The platform analyzes a property's assessed value against comparable sales and assessment data in the local area, and if it identifies a strong case for a lower assessment, Ownwell prepares and files the appeal with the local taxing authority on the homeowner's behalf, including presenting supporting evidence during any required hearing or review process. Because property tax appeal deadlines, required documentation, and appeal procedures vary significantly by county and state, most homeowners either miss the appeal window entirely or don't realize an appeal is a realistic option in the first place, which is the core gap Ownwell's automated monitoring is designed to close. The company's pricing is typically structured as a percentage of the actual tax savings achieved rather than a flat upfront fee, meaning homeowners generally pay nothing if an appeal doesn't succeed in reducing their assessment. Ownwell also monitors properties on an ongoing basis year over year, automatically filing new appeals in future years if a property becomes over-assessed again, rather than requiring a homeowner to remember to check and refile annually themselves.
