Project Homestead LLC

We take care of the paperwork that will save thousands on your future property tax bills, and get you a refund for overpayments in past years.

We’ve screened millions of houses and condos in the Houston area to identify those likely to need our help.

If you received mail or a call from us, your home appears to have been missing a homestead or over-65 exemption for multiple years.  These exemptions save most homeowners at least $1,000 per year.  If you got a postcard in the mail, it shows exactly how much you’ll save.

Tens of millions of excess dollars are paid to our county governments each year because many homeowners don’t take advantage of the valuable exemptions available to them.  We help you take control of your property taxes so you pay only what you owe.

When you contact us, we’ll ask a few questions to determine whether we can help you.

• Do you own and reside at the property?
• Do you not have a homestead exemption on any other home?
• Do you have a TX driver’s license or state ID with matching address?

If so, we’ll take care of the rest.  We work with the county to make sure your exemption is put in place.  Correctly.  The first time.  Communication with the county is key, and we know where the ball is usually dropped – where errors are made in recording these exemptions – and we fix any issues that may arise.

You’ll receive your 2021, 2022 and 2023 refund checks in the mail, and can look forward to lower tax bills in 2024 and beyond!

In short, we help homeowners avoid the scenario where they apply for an exemption, but it isn’t recorded for the correct years (or at all).  It’s heartbreaking to hear the stories of people who thought they had an exemption for years and years, but didn’t. 

January 31, 2024 is the deadline to file an exemption for year 2021, and the 2021 refund will be lost if not filed correctly by that date.

We have screened millions of homes in the Houston area to identify those that appear to need our help.

If you received a postcard or a call, it means you fit the following criteria:

• You owned your home prior to January 1, 2021.
• You do not appear to have claimed a homestead exemption on this or any other property, or you appear to be over age 65 but have only the homestead exemption.
• Your total refund for tax years 2021, 2022 and 2023 will be at least $4,000.

If you use the home as your primary residence, you are likely eligible to receive a homestead exemption.

If you moved into the home in 2020 or earlier, it’s not too late to receive a refund for the amount you overpaid on your 2021, 2022 and 2023 property tax bills.  Many homeowners do not receive these refunds because they don’t file properly, or their paperwork is incorrectly processed by the county.  We can help!

Please call (713) 909-4582 or email EG@homesteadhouston.com.  We will be happy to determine whether you qualify for a homestead, over-age-65, or any other exemption.

My name is Emmerich Grimm, and I started Project Homestead in 2016 when I noticed the number of missing property tax exemptions in the Houston area.  Millions of extra dollars are paid to the tax collector every year because of missing exemptions – just in Harris County.  I was outraged!

We specialize in finding missing exemptions, and applying them retroactively.  When done correctly, this will cause a property tax refund to come back to the homeowner.  Most people don’t know this is possible, and the county certainly has no incentive to tell you!

Since 2016, we have saved our clients OVER 12 MILLION DOLLARS on their property taxes.  We’ve broadened our scope to also identify homeowners who are over age 65 and missing the over-65 exemption.

If you received a letter or a call from us, you may be missing a tax exemption.  We would love to help you get it in place, and cause those refunds to come back to you.  At the very least, we’ll double-check that you have the correct exemptions in place.  Adding an exemption will lower your tax burden in future years as well.

We want to lower your property taxes.  Call us today!

Reach us at (713) 909-4582 or EG@homesteadhouston.com.

I would highly recommend Project Homestead LLC to anyone seeking assistance with establishing the over-65 property tax exemption. I had the pleasure of working with them recently, and the experience exceeded my expectations.

From the very beginning, Project Homestead LLC was dedicated to providing exceptional service. They took the time to thoroughly explain the process, ensuring that I understood the requirements and steps involved in obtaining the exemption. Their expertise in this area was evident, and I felt confident in their ability to guide me through the necessary procedures.

What truly impressed me about Project Homestead LLC was their commitment to ensuring my satisfaction. They worked tirelessly to gather all the necessary documentation and submit the proper forms to the relevant taxing authorities on my behalf. Their attention to detail and knowledge of the intricacies of the tax system was invaluable in this process.

Furthermore, Project Homestead LLC offered a fantastic payment structure that made their services even more appealing. Unlike other companies I had researched, they required no upfront fees. Instead, they only requested payment once I received the refund checks from the property taxing authorities. This demonstrated their genuine dedication to helping me while minimizing any financial risk.

I am thrilled to report that, thanks to the efforts of Project Homestead LLC, I not only established the over-65 property tax exemption successfully but also received refunds from all property taxing authorities. The refund amount far exceeded the reasonable fee I paid to Project Homestead LLC making this a truly worthwhile investment.

Overall, my experience with Project Homestead LLC was exceptional. They are a company that goes above and beyond to ensure their clients’ needs are met while providing transparency and high-quality service. If you are in need of assistance with the over-65 property tax exemption, I strongly encourage you to consider working with Project Homestead LLC. You won’t be disappointed.

Had some serious questions about my property tax exemptions (especially about the school taxes). Emmerich was fantastic. He quickly checked out my situation and assured me I had the correct exemptions in place (and even explained some additional things about how the taxes worked). If you ever need someone to help in this area give Emmerich a call ASAP.

So glad I did not throw away the post card that came in the mail. I Googled Project Homestead and read all the excellent reviews. Emmerich got three years of refunds for me regarding the over 65 exemption, which amounted to over $5,000! As a retired teacher, this money will come in very handy. Please don’t hesitate to let Emmerich recover thousands of dollars for you, too! He is professional, courteous and communicates every step of the way. Emmerich is very knowledgeable and achieves the results he promises for you!

Emmerich Grimm is a solid, knowledgeable and professional advisor. Emmerich not only worked quickly to resolve my property tax challenges, he worked diligently to track the progress of my case with all the separate tax agencies involved – and, he kept me appraised of his progress and communications. I cannot be more pleased with Emmerich and the results he obtained for me. I highly recommend him to anyone with property tax challenges.
