Property tax protest appraisals
If your appraisal district's value is higher than what your home would actually sell for, an independent appraisal is strong evidence for your protest.
Timing
In Texas, the deadline to protest is generally May 15 or 30 days after your notice was mailed, whichever is later. Check your notice for the exact date. File the protest first; the appraisal can follow before your hearing.
What helps most
- Value as of January 1 of the tax year, which is the date the district uses
- Documented condition issues the district can't see from the street, like foundation, roof or outdated interiors
- Sales comparisons that actually match your home, not just your neighborhood
I work with appraisal district records in all nine counties I serve.
