PTI Analytics LLC
Know Your Tax Exposure Before You Close the Deal
PTI Analytics delivers upstream forensic property tax analysis for Texas real estate professionals — before acquisition, before permits, before construction begins.
About PTI Analytics
Forensic Intelligence at the Front End of Every Deal
PTI Analytics LLC is a Houston-based property tax intelligence firm built for the professionals who move Texas real estate forward. We specialize in upstream analysis — the kind that happens before a deal closes, before a permit is pulled, and before a single foundation is poured.
Our work is forensic by design. We examine how appraisal districts have historically valued comparable land, how exemptions and special valuations interact with development timelines, and where tax exposure is likely to spike as a project matures. We do not file protests or represent clients before appraisal review boards. We provide intelligence.
Based in Houston and serving developers, builders, and investors across the state of Texas, PTI Analytics brings institutional-grade rigor to a discipline that most firms treat as an afterthought.
Our Positioning
"We provide intelligence. Our clients make decisions. That distinction defines everything about how we work."
About the Founder
Ryan — Founder, PTI Analytics LLC
Ryan is the founder of PTI Analytics LLC and brings 14 years of property tax and land acquisition experience to every engagement. He began his career as an appraiser at the Harris County Appraisal District, where he developed firsthand knowledge of how appraisal districts value land, assess construction progress, and process ownership transitions.
He then joined KB Homes as a land acquisition analyst, working directly on the deal and transaction side of residential development — evaluating tracts, structuring acquisitions, and understanding how land moves from raw acreage into a builder's pipeline. That experience gave him the developer's perspective on how deals are evaluated before the first permit is pulled.
He later served as property tax manager at Perry Homes, one of Texas's largest privately held homebuilders, where he managed the full property tax function across an active inventory portfolio — CIP assessments, builder inventory exemptions, valuation disputes, and community-level tax exposure across multiple Texas markets.
PTI Analytics was built at the intersection of those three experiences — appraisal district knowledge, land acquisition deal structure, and builder property tax operations — delivering intelligence that sits in a lane most firms cannot access because they have only ever seen one side of it.
Who We Serve
Built for Texas Real Estate Professionals
Acquisition-stage tax exposure
Residential Land Developers
You're acquiring raw or partially developed land and need to understand how the appraisal district will re-value the tract as entitlements are secured and infrastructure is installed. PTI maps your tax trajectory before you commit capital.
Land valuation shifts, exemption cliffs, and ag-rollback exposure quantified at acquisition.
Lot-level tax modeling
Home Builders
As finished lots are absorbed and homes are constructed, your tax liability evolves rapidly. PTI provides lot-level and community-level tax modeling so your pro forma reflects reality — not the prior owner's tax bill.
Construction-phase valuation, homestead timing, and community-level tax burden analysis.
Post-renovation reappraisal risk
Fix-and-Flip Investors
A successful renovation triggers reappraisal. PTI analyzes the likely post-improvement assessed value, the resulting tax burden, and how that affects your hold-period economics and exit pricing.
Reappraisal timing, comparable sales analysis, and hold-period tax cost modeling.
What Makes Us Different
Intelligence Before the Exposure Becomes a Problem
Upstream Analysis Only
We work exclusively at the front end of the deal cycle — acquisition, entitlement, and pre-construction. By the time a tax bill arrives, our work is already done.
No Protest. No Representation.
PTI Analytics does not file protests or appear before appraisal review boards. Our independence from the protest industry means our analysis is never shaped by what we can argue — only by what the data shows.
Forensic Methodology
We examine appraisal district records, comparable sales, exemption histories, and valuation trends with the same rigor applied to financial due diligence. Every engagement produces a documented, defensible analysis.
Texas-Specific Expertise
Texas property tax law is distinct — ag rollback, homestead caps, special appraisal, and protest deadlines operate differently here. PTI's practice is built entirely around Texas jurisdictions and Texas deal structures.
Services & Pricing
Transparent, Fixed-Fee Engagements
All engagements are flat-fee or quarterly retainer — never contingency. Every deliverable includes a complimentary 20-minute review call. All models are fully editable and client-owned. PTI Analytics does not represent, file, or appear before any appraisal district or ARB.
