CandysDirt recently published a guest commentary from a property tax expert and founder of PropertyTax.io, a comprehensive agency that helps homeowners protest their property taxes.
In the article, Glenn Goodrich explains why he walked away from The Dallas Morning News’ newest venture, TX Tax. He delivers a candid, insider exposé from a seasoned property tax professional who actually purchased and dissected the $69 Tx Tax report on his own home—revealing it as overhyped, misleading, and unlikely to deliver real savings for most homeowners.
Goodrich explains how the product relies on a weak, technical equal-and-uniform argument with too few unadjusted comparables, ignoring far more effective protest strategies like photos, repair estimates, and proper sales comparisons, while glossing over homestead caps and senior freezes that often make “savings” impossible.
Beyond the product critique, Goodrich raises ethical red flags about a major news organization selling a competing service, potential licensing issues, and conflicts of interest in their tax coverage.
As Texas homeowners enter the 2026 property tax protest season and face a growing market of paid tools promising help with appraisal challenges, read the full article on CandysDirt to potentially save money, time, and frustration.
