About |
Tax Remedy Advocates is a Bexar County, Texas–based homeowner advocacy company dedicated to helping local homeowners facing property tax delinquency, tax liens, and potential tax foreclosure understand their options and protect their home or equity. Founded by real estate entrepreneur Melina Montelongo, the organization provides education, confidential guidance, and practical solutions for families struggling with unpaid property taxes in San Antonio and surrounding Bexar County communities.
Property taxes in Bexar County continue to rise due to increasing property values, reassessments, penalties, and compounding interest on delinquent accounts. Many homeowners fall behind unexpectedly after financial hardship, medical expenses, job loss, or fixed-income limitations. Unfortunately, most are unaware of Texas tax delinquency timelines, redemption rights, or available strategies to prevent tax foreclosure until they receive legal notices or face a tax sale.
Tax Remedy Advocates was created to address this gap by providing clear, local, Bexar County–specific information and homeowner-focused support before irreversible outcomes occur. The organization helps property owners understand exactly where they stand with Bexar County property taxes and what solutions may be available to protect their homestead or preserve accumulated equity.
Homeowners seek Tax Remedy Advocates for guidance with:
• Bexar County delinquent property taxes
• Texas property tax liens and penalties
• Tax foreclosure risk and timelines
• How to stop a tax sale in Bexar County
• Options to keep a home with back taxes
• Selling a home with delinquent property taxes
• Protecting equity before tax foreclosure
• Understanding Texas redemption periods
Rather than treating tax delinquency solely as a legal or financial issue, Tax Remedy Advocates approaches each situation holistically. Some homeowners want to keep their home and resolve back taxes through strategic planning or resources. Others may decide to sell before foreclosure to preserve equity and avoid total loss. In either case, the company prioritizes informed decision-making, transparency, and ethical advocacy.
Founder Melina Montelongo has spent decades in Texas real estate and has worked extensively with homeowners navigating distressed property situations. Through this experience, she observed a recurring pattern in Bexar County: families losing homes or generational wealth simply because they did not fully understand property tax laws, delinquency consequences, or available remedies in time. Tax Remedy Advocates was launched to change that outcome through education and proactive solutions.
The organization serves homeowners across Bexar County, including San Antonio, Converse, Universal City, Schertz, Live Oak, Leon Valley, Helotes, and surrounding areas. Services begin with confidential consultations designed to clarify tax status, explain Bexar County tax processes, and identify realistic options based on the homeowner’s goals.
Tax Remedy Advocates operates with an education-first and homeowner-first philosophy. The company does not promote fear-based messaging or exploit financial distress. Instead, it focuses on empowering Texas homeowners with accurate information about property taxes, delinquency timelines, foreclosure risks, and equity protection strategies so they can make confident, informed decisions about their property.
As property taxes continue to impact affordability and stability for many Bexar County residents, Tax Remedy Advocates aims to reduce preventable tax foreclosures, preserve homeowner equity, and ensure families understand their rights and options under Texas property tax law.
The mission is to educate, empower, and provide real solutions so Bexar County homeowners can protect their homestead, safeguard their equity, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
