Property tax company Ownwell refuses to defend itself from charges by competitors
A property tax company called Ownwell in North Texas is offering to file homestead designation paperwork for homeowners for free, but then charges 25% of the savings from homestead exemptions. The company has been criticized for making false promises and misstating the pricing of its competitors. The Better Business Bureau revoked Ownwell’s A+ rating in February. It is advised to make sure you have a homestead exemption on your primary residence and not fall for deceptive practices during the property tax season.
