With the Texas real estate market rising and your property becoming more valuable, how are you
staying on top of your property taxes? Consider the following a guide to how your property is
taxed by the county and how to reduce your tax burden as much as possible.
What is BPP?
BPP (Business Personal Property) is taxable, tangible assets owned by a company used in the production of income. This could include anything from furniture and fixtures, machinery, computers, supplies, equipment, inventory, raw materials, and work in progress. Each year, the appraisal district allows you to delcare the value fo these assets in the form of a rendition. If you have a BPP account at your local appraisal district and fail to render timely each year, an additional 10% penalty will be assessed to your tax bill.
What BPP Services Does Resolute Offer?
Should the district not agree with your value, they will simply create their own value based on their information. In that situation, you may appeal the value in a formal manner before an appraisal review board.
We offer full service representation for our clients, including analysis of asset lists, rendition filing, appeals support, and exemption research and application filings.
Our fee structure is competitive, based on asset value rendered. Should your case need to go through the appeals process, we charge a small percentage of the tax savings achieved from the protest.

Business Personal Property (BPP) Taxes - How to Properly Render and Protest
Why Accurate Business Personal Property (BPP) Rendering Matters
As a business owner in Texas, understanding the importance of accurately rendering your Business Personal Property (BPP) is crucial. Each year, the value you render directly influences your BPP taxes, and ensuring that this value reflects your property's true worth is key to minimizing your tax liability. Inaccurate renderings can lead to overvaluations, resulting in higher taxes, or undervaluations, which can trigger audits and penalties. Resolute Property Tax Solutions specializes in optimizing your BPP renderings, ensuring compliance with state regulations while maximizing your tax savings.
The Power of Data-Driven Valuation Optimization
At Resolute, we leverage advanced valuation optimization software that aggregates and analyzes comparable data across industries. This data-driven approach allows us to justify accurate BPP values, making your tax filings both compliant and defensible. Our software's comprehensive data analysis ensures that no stone is left unturned, providing you with the most accurate and fair property value. By choosing Resolute, you’re equipping yourself with the tools to reduce your BPP taxes while avoiding the pitfalls of inaccurate renderings.
Your Right to Protest: Protecting Your Business Interests
In Texas, business owners have the right to protest their BPP tax rendered values under the Texas Property Tax Code. Sections 41.41 and 41.42 of the code empower property owners to challenge the appraised value of their property if they believe it is inaccurate or unfair. Resolute is your ally in this process, offering expert guidance and representation to ensure your protest is well-founded and successful. We understand the intricacies of the protest process and are committed to defending your rights.
Navigating the BPP Protest Process with Expertise
The process of protesting a BPP tax value can be complex, involving detailed paperwork, evidence submission, and potentially attending hearings. At Resolute, we handle every aspect of the protest process for you, from filing the initial protest to representing you before the appraisal review board. Our deep understanding of local market conditions and the valuation process gives us a unique advantage in crafting persuasive arguments that can lead to substantial tax reductions.

The Consequences of Inaccurate BPP Renderings
