Best property tax appeal apps, 2026

Most US homes are over-assessed, yet the firms that promise to fix it take a quarter to a third of your savings for years. These two apps hand you the same appeal workflow so you keep all of it. Lower is an end-to-end workbench: scan your county assessment notice with on-device OCR, work up a comparable-sales worksheet, store evidence photos, and generate a state-specific appeal letter. Assessr suits anyone juggling more than one parcel, with a multi-parcel register, a comp grid that computes $/sqft adjustments, a photo-backed defect log, and deadline tracking for all 50 states.

FAQ

Are these property tax appeal apps free?

Yes. Both Lower and Assessr are built so you keep your full savings, with no contingency cut, unlike services that take 25-50% of what you save. They are designed for DIY homeowners doing their own appeal.

Do they work without an internet connection?

Yes. Both apps run on-device, with no account required. The assessment-notice OCR, comparable-sales and comp-grid worksheets, and evidence photos all stay on your iPhone rather than on someone's server.

Which one should I use?

Choose Lower if you want a single end-to-end appeal workbench for one home, ending in a state-specific appeal letter. Choose Assessr if you have multiple parcels or want a comp grid with computed $/sqft adjustments, a defect log, and deadline tracking across all 50 states.
