INSTRUCTIONS: If you
want the appraisal review board to hear and decide your case, you must
file a written notice of protest with the appraisal review board (ARB)
for the appraisal district that took
the action you want to protest. If you are leasing the property subject
to the protest, you must have a contract requiring you to pay the
property taxes on the property.FILING
DEADLINES: The usual deadline for filing your notice (having it
postmarked if you mail it) is midnight, May 31.
A different deadline will apply to you if:
• your notice of appraised value was
delivered to you after May 2;
• your protest concerns a change in
the use of agricultural, open-space or timber land;
• the ARB made a change to the
appraisal records that adversely affects you and your received notice of
the change;
• the appraisal district or the ARB
was required by law to send you notice about a property and did not; or
• you had good cause for missing the
May 31 protest filing deadline.
Contact the appraisal district for your specific
protest filing deadline. The ARB will determine if a good cause exists
for missing a deadline. Good cause means that something beyond your
control, such as a medical emergency, prevented you from meeting the
deadline.
WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS: If
your deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other legal holiday, it is
postponed until midnight of the next working day. |
