AUSTIN, Texas–Amplify Credit Union said it is partnering with the property tax tech company Ownwell to provide property tax appeal services to its members across Texas.
“This collaboration brings property tax savings opportunities to thousands of homeowners throughout the state,” the organizations said in a statement. “Through this partnership, Amplify Credit Union members who own property in Texas will gain access to Ownwell’s technology-driven property tax appeal service at no upfront cost.” Ownwell said it combines proprietary technology with licensed property tax professionals to help homeowners reduce their property tax bills by appealing over-assessed property values with local tax assessors.
The company said that many properties in Texas are over-assessed and that its service operates on a pay-for-success model, meaning members only pay a percentage-based fee when their appeal successfully reduces their property tax bill. There are no upfront costs or risk to homeowners, it added.
‘Life-Changing Power’
“We often speak of the life-changing power of homeownership and how organizations like ours can support members at every stage of their homeowner journeys,” ACU SVP-Mortgage Banking JC San Pedro said in a statement. “We’re excited to partner with Ownwell to make that process as affordable as possible for Texas families.”
The credit union has more than 50,000 members.
