Project Homestead
Homestead and Over-65 exemptions are worth thousands of dollars per year. Many homeowners don't know they're missing. We find missing exemptions and get your money back.
We've screened millions of properties in Harris County to identify homeowners who appear to be missing valuable tax exemptions. If you received a postcard, it means your home matched these criteria:
The amount on your postcard is a real estimate based on your property's tax records. That's money already paid to the county, that should be in your pocket. These refunds are the property tax dollars you never should have paid.
When we fix your exemption correctly and retroactively, you'll receive:
Plus, your property tax bills in 2027 and beyond will be lowered — most homeowners save over $2,000 per year going forward.
We'll ask three questions: Do you own and live at the property? Do you have a Texas driver's license with a matching address? Do you have a homestead exemption on any other home? That's it.
We work directly with Harris County to get your exemption applied — correctly, for the right years. We know exactly where errors happen in this process, and we prevent them.
Refund checks for 2024, 2025, and 2026 arrive in your mailbox. And your future tax bills drop by $2,000 or more per year, every year going forward.
I started Project Homestead in 2017 when I discovered how many Houston homeowners were overpaying on their property taxes because of missing exemptions. Tens of millions of unnecessary dollars are paid to the county every year.
The county has no incentive to tell you about these exemptions, and the process is full of pitfalls. Their default is to grant exemptions for THIS year, but not previous years. Applications get lost, exemptions are recorded for the wrong years, and most people don't realize anything went wrong until deadlines have passed, and it's too late.
We specialize in finding these mistakes, fixing exemptions retroactively, and making sure the refunds make it back to you. Since 2017, we've saved our clients over $30 million.
"We were signed up with another company when Emmerich got a hold of us as the other company was close to missing some deadlines. He took over and the process was seamless. Regular communication and updates. Very professional."
"Very helpful and friendly, kept me updated, let me know what checks to expect and when."
"Excellent service by Emmerich, obvious that he is extremely knowledgeable in his work, and keeps his clients informed of where they are in the process."
"Emmerich was so great from the beginning of the process to the end. He provided us the progress of the refunds and kept us informed all the way through. His service was excellent. So happy we called him!"
One quick conversation is all it takes. We'll check your property records and tell you exactly what you're owed — no cost, no obligation.
