Waitlist

Property tax appeals in Texas

Texas is on our waitlist: we're not filing here yet. You can still ask us to look at a property, and we'll tell you what we find and whether we can act on it.

Appeal deadline

May 15, or 30 days after the appraisal notice is mailed, whichever is later

The usual deadline. The notice your county sends always governs.

Appeals go to: County appraisal review board (ARB)

How the process typically works

  1. Each county's appraisal district sets a value every year and mails a notice to many owners in the spring.
  2. An owner, or an agent they appoint, files a notice of protest with the appraisal district by the deadline.
  3. A protest can be settled at an informal meeting with an appraiser. If it isn't, it goes to a hearing before the appraisal review board.
  4. If the board's decision is still wrong, there are further options: binding arbitration, the State Office of Administrative Hearings for higher-value property, or district court.

What we’d need from you

  • A signed Appointment of Agent for Property Tax Matters (Form 50-162), which lets a representative act on your protest.
  • Anything the county may not know: recent repairs, damage, vacancy, or an appraisal of your own.

Texas requires anyone who represents owners for pay to be registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
