1 starTo the business holders: Based on the sheer amount of reviews calling you a 'scam', makes you wonder... are you? How is it possible that ALL of these reviews seem to believe that? If it's not true, then maybe include some more information for what you provide in the mail. The current letter formatting makes this appear as an "URGENT" thing, when you're just a company offering a service.. it's not urgent. If you want to offer services, there are better methods of doing so. This isn't ***** homeowners: Throw away the notice and move on. You can have your day back. :)Review fromChris S

Your recent public comment contains factually inaccurate and misleading statements about our company. The claim that we are a scam company and that we trick people into sending checks believing that [we] are a government agency is demonstrably false.Our materials clearly and prominently state that we are not affiliated with any government agency. We take transparency and ethical business practices very seriously, and we include these disclaimers specifically to avoid any confusion.Publicly posting false and damaging statements can have serious consequences. We respectfully request that you review the materials in question and revise or remove your comment to reflect accurate information.Review fromBrian M

2nd year after starting mortgage I received letters from companies regarding homestead designation. Two were received within weeks of each otherthe other called Homestead ****************** ****************, also in ******. This is also the 2nd year I researched this as a scam before handling tax exemption with government officials.Homestead Designation Services, LLC

Were sorry to hear you feel this way, but its important to clarify a few key facts.
First, our company does not offer assistance with exemptions, and we state this clearly in our letter. We assist homeowners with homestead designations, which are entirely separate from exemptions and serve a different legal and property-related function. The exemption process is indeed free and handled through your local appraisal districtwe do not, and never have, claimed otherwise.
It appears that you may not have thoroughly read the correspondence we sent before making these accusations. Additionally, your reference to another company (Homestead ***************** on *************) has no relation to us whatsoever. Drawing comparisons or implying a connection between unrelated entities without evidence is misleading and unfair.
Calling our business a scam without understanding our actual service and confusing us with another company is not only inaccurate, but also harmful and potentially slanderous. We encourage all homeowners to research and ask questionsbut we also ask that you review the facts and the documents we send before posting public statements that misrepresent who we are and what we do.
Thank you.Review fromCB W

I thought this was a real letter which I received right after moving to *****, but Im glad I researched online. This is a scam! Dont fall for it.Homestead Designation Services, LLC

Had you actually read and understood the service we provide, you would realize its not a scam.
Your vague, baseless accusation is misleading and damaging. Calling a legitimate business a scam without any evidence is reckless and should not be allowed on any credible review platform.
We clearly outline our service. If you choose not to use it, thats finebut spreading false claims is defamatory and irresponsible.
Making baseless claims like this damages reputations and misleads others. Reviews should be based on factsnot assumptions.Review fromSteve P

This company uses deceptive tactics to make you believe that the State of Texas is asking you to file for homestead. I already have our homestead filed. Deceptive practices by a fraudulent company. Don't fall for it.Homestead Designation Services, LLC
Date: 05/13/2025
Is it deceptive to clearly statein plain languagethat we are a private company not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency? That disclaimer is printed directly on our service offer.
Its unfair and misleading to call our service deceptive or fraudulent when you havent taken the time to fully read or understand what we offer. Just because a service isnt relevant to you doesnt make it a scam.
Reviews should be factual and responsible, not based on assumptions. False claims hurt legitimate businesses and mislead others.Review fromLauren M

Your review contains false and inflammatory claims that misrepresent our business and the services we provide. We want to be clear: we do not claim to be a government agency, and in fact, our mailings explicitly state that we are not affiliated with any governmental entity.The service we offer is assistance with the designation of homesteadthis is a legal filing that serves an entirely different purpose than a homestead tax exemption. Many homeowners choose to complete the designation for legal protections related to property rights under Texas law. Our clients seek our help for convenience and accuracy in handling this optional process.Calling our business a scam and encouraging others to report us without understanding the facts is not only reckless, but could be considered defamatory. We strongly encourage you to review the actual services we provide and the clear language used in our communications.We remain committed to transparency, legal compliance, and ethical practices. If you have any genuine concerns, we welcome a respectful and fact-based discussionReview fromBill H

This is a scam. Request is for $109.00.THE STATE OF ***** THROUGH THE INDIVIDUAL COUNTIES DOES NOT CHARGE FOR HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS.Homestead Designation Services, LLC
Date: 05/18/2025
We take accusations like scam very seriously and want to set the record straight.First and foremost, we do not offer any service related to homestead exemptions, and we fully agree that the State of ***** and its counties do not charge for that process. However, what we provide is assistance with the Homestead Designation, which is an entirely different legal filing under Texas property law that relates to protecting your property rightsnot your property taxes.Our service is completely optional, and our materials clearly stateboth in the body and in the disclosuresthat we are a private company not affiliated with any government agency. Nothing in our communication suggests otherwise.Labeling a legitimate, transparent, and clearly explained service as a scam is not only inaccurateits also unfair to the many customers who seek our help for convenience and peace of mind.If you have questions or concerns about the difference between a designation and an exemption, were happy to clarify.Review fromMike S

Thanks for alerting me from this scam. I also received what appears as legal requirement demanding $109 urgent payment as recording fee when I bought a new house.Homestead Designation Services, LLC
Date: 05/18/2025
Your comment reflects a clear misunderstanding of our service and unfortunately contributes to a growing trend of me too complaints from individuals who have not taken the time to read or understand the nature of what we ******** no point did we demand urgent payment from you.Let us be absolutely clear: we do not offer a homestead exemption service, nor do we imply that our service is legally required. Our correspondence explicitly states that we are a private business not affiliated with any government agency, and that our optional service relates solely to Homestead Designation, a legal filing that serves a completely different purpose than a tax ************ is disappointing that platforms like the BBB allow misleading comments like these to remain public, despite their harmful impact on legitimate businesses operating in good faith and full compliance with the law.We welcome any reviewer who has genuine questions to contact us directly. However, false and inflammatory accusationsparticularly from those who clearly havent reviewed the materialonly spread misinformation.Review fromMICHELLE N
