How to appeal your property tax value in Texas
4 sourced points for Texas, each linked to the official page it comes from.
- To protest your value, file Form 50-132, Property Owner's Notice of Protest, with the appraisal review board (ARB). A written notice that names the property, the owner and what you disagree with also works. comptroller.texas.govOct 21
- You usually have until May 15 or 30 days after the appraisal district mails its notice, whichever is later. The 30 days count from the mailing date, not the day you get it. comptroller.texas.govOct 21
- You can ask for an informal conference with the appraisal district to settle your protest before the ARB hearing. If that doesn't work, the ARB hears both you and the appraisal district. comptroller.texas.govOct 21
- If you disagree with the ARB, you can appeal to state district court in your property's county within 60 days of getting the ARB's written order. Homesteads and property worth $5 million or less may instead go to regular binding arbitration through the Comptroller. comptroller.texas.govOct 21
