FairPath vs Ownwell — Flat Fee vs Contingency

FairPath charges a flat $249 for a complete property tax evidence packet. Ownwell charges 30% of your first-year savings. For Harris County homeowners with larger potential reductions, FairPath's flat fee can cost less than a percentage-based model.

Both services help homeowners protest property tax assessments in Harris County, Texas. The difference: Ownwell files on your behalf as your appointed agent. FairPath prepares your evidence packet and you file yourself through iSettle.

FairPath's flat fee eliminates the phantom fee problem — where contingency firms charge a percentage of market value reductions that don't translate to actual tax savings due to the Texas homestead cap.
