The partner wedge

A link that answers the homeowner's real question.

They don't want an appeal service — they want to know if their property is worth checking. Censum turns that into a trackable link, code, QR, or co-branded flow.

Why this converts

Not another generic savings link.

01

Odds before trust

A historical win rate tied to their address — not a claim to believe.

02

Fee math built in

Flat Censum pricing, shown against percentage-fee help.

03

Works anywhere

Newsletters, videos, emails, open houses, mail, QR.

How it works

Easy to start. Easy to share. Easy to track.

Audience math

Show partners the volume hiding in plain sight.

The affiliate pitch is not "everyone will appeal." It is simpler: most homeowners never check, and a free odds check gives your audience a low-friction first step before anyone pays Censum, a lawyer, or a savings-share service.

Partner setup
Turn this estimate into a tracked partner link.

Send Censum the audience math, partner type, and channel. We can map the right route, disclosure, link/code, and first test.

Paid-referral disclosure and no-guarantee language stay attached to any approved partner route.

Calculator defaults are illustrative planning assumptions, not a forecast or guarantee. Actual results depend on audience fit, disclosure, county coverage, property mix, appeal windows, checkout behavior, refunds, and Censum approval rules.

A lower-cost offer than percentage-fee help.

Percentage-fee services take a cut of first-year savings — about $495 on a $1,500 reduction. Censum tops out at $99 upfront, or a fixed $149 only after a verified reduction.

33% of $1,500 savings $495
Censum low-upfront top price $99
Eligible Contingent Plan $149 after reduction
Why Censum can charge less.

A proprietary parcel database, comparable-sales analysis, and quantitative models screen each property first — no blank-page manual review to pay for. So affiliates share one promise: check free, pay a flat or fixed price only when the signal is useful, never a percentage of savings.

Market stats are public benchmarks from Census/FRED owner-occupied housing data, NTUF assessment-appeal benchmarks, and Census/NAHB property-tax collection summaries; exact appeal volume varies by county, reassessment cycle, and filing window. Censum is independent, not affiliated with any county, and does not guarantee savings or appeal outcomes.

Compare the model

Start with the odds, then pick the help.

The real decision is not Censum versus one brand. It is whether you want savings-based representation, a generic packet, local filing help, or Censum's property-level analytics before paying.

Run the free odds check
Contingency firms

Best when you want someone else to run it.

Full-service and local firms can be worth it when convenience or representation matters more than fee control.

Watch the percentage, whether fees recur, and what happens if the savings are simple but large.
National hands-off platforms

Best when distribution and hands-off service win.

Broad platforms often sell a managed experience. That can be useful, but the fee model, role, and market availability need to be checked before a homeowner treats it as the cheapest path.

Censum's counter-position: show the odds first, keep pricing fixed, and let the homeowner keep the upside.
Flat-fee generic packets

Best when price is the only filter.

Cheap packets create a low anchor, but they can feel thin if the homeowner needs county-specific signal, comps, and a filing story.

Censum should win when a property needs decision quality, not just a downloadable document.
Censum

Best when you want the answer before the purchase.

Free lookup first. County-specific odds, comps, and model drivers second. Low upfront flat fee or fixed no-risk Contingent Plan third.

The advantage is real analytics before the sale: buy only the shown tier, or stop when the numbers do not justify it.

This is category-level education for affiliates. Do not name or summarize a competitor's fee, ownership, attorney role, funding, or market coverage unless Censum has approved source-locked wording for that claim.

Customer pricing your audience sees

The homeowner checks odds first. Then chooses payment style.

Partners should send people to the free odds check first. Censum scores the historical win rate from the property data, then shows either low upfront flat-fee pricing or the fixed $149 Contingent Plan when eligible. Optional add-ons stay separate.

Low upfront
Pay now, flat
$99
one flat fee — same price whatever your odds

The full evidence packet for one flat fee. If a timely appeal returns no reduction, the fee carries forward as a next-year credit.

No-risk Contingent Plan
$0 due until we win
$149
fixed fee, only after a verified qualifying reduction

No percentage fee, no attorney-style cut, and no charge if there is no qualifying reduction.

Done-for-you filing
Exemption Filing
Homeowner $69 / Senior $49 / Veterans free

We e-file your current-year homeowner, senior, or veterans exemption for you. Prior-year recapture recovers up to 4 years — pay only per approved year.

What approved founding affiliates earn

Examples below use the current customer pricing. The result is assigned by the property's modeled odds, not chosen by the customer. No-risk Contingent Plan payouts only become payable after Censum actually collects the verified-reduction charge.

Low-upfront packet sale ($39-$99) $15.60-$39.60 example
No-risk Contingent Plan ($149 after verified reduction) $59.60 example
Exemption + Prior-Year Checkup (+$19; included with the strongest results, 90%+ modeled odds) +$7.60 example
Payout rate 40% of revenue
Referral attribution window up to 90 days

Referral fees apply only for approved affiliates, disclosed links or QR codes, completed paid sales or collected Contingent Plan charges, and sales that clear refund, chargeback, fraud, self-referral, and claim-safety review. Payouts are calculated as 40% of net collected Censum revenue on attributed paid sales and become eligible no earlier than 35 days after Censum collects the customer charge. Referral cookies, where set, expire after 90 days. Censum takes no percentage of the homeowner's savings, and your audience pays the same Censum price.

Required disclosure near every affiliate link: paid referral; Censum is independent, not affiliated with any county or government office; informational support only; no savings are guaranteed.

See the Affiliate Program terms for approval, disclosure, payout, and restricted-promotion rules.
