Ownwell, a property tax technology company, has announced a strategic partnership with Amplify Credit Union to provide property tax appeal services to Amplify's members across Texas. Through this collaboration, 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, helping homeowners reduce their property tax bills by appealing overassessed property values.

Why it matters

Property taxes represent one of the largest ongoing expenses of homeownership, and many properties in Texas are over-assessed. This partnership allows Amplify Credit Union members to take advantage of Ownwell's services to potentially save money on their property taxes, strengthening the credit union's relationship with its members.

The details

Ownwell's 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. Beyond property tax appeals, Ownwell also helps homeowners with homestead exemptions, bill reduction services, and home insurance monitoring—providing comprehensive support for reducing the total cost of homeownership.

  • The partnership comes at a critical time as Texas property owners face the May 15, 2026 deadline to file property tax protests for the current tax year.
