Don't let a missed deadline cost you thousands! Property owners in McLennan and Bell County, act now to protest your tax appraisal and potentially save big.
Understanding Key Deadlines
Your Texas property taxes are based on the value assessed by your local Appraisal District. If you believe this value is too high, you can file a protest.
Notice of Appraisal: Property Tax Appraisal Value Notices are sent between April and May.
Protest Deadline: For most properties, the deadline to file your protest is May 15, or within 30 days of receiving your appraisal notice, whichever is later.
Steps to Take
1. Review and Prepare
Carefully review your Notice of Appraisal for any inaccuracies or inconsistencies in the valuation. If you find any discrepancies, contact Property Tax Help. We can assist you by gathering strong evidence to support your protest, including:
Comparable property sales data from your area
- An equity comparison grid
- Photographs documenting your property's condition
- Relevant past appraisal documents
2. File the Protest
Once we have gathered the necessary information, it’s crucial to file the protest promptly. Property Tax Help will ensure that the protest is submitted by the specified deadlines to avoid any potential complications or rejections.
Resolve Disputes
The property tax protest process offers avenues for resolving disputes with the Appraisal District. These include:
Informal Settlement: Many Appraisal Districts hold informal meetings where Property Tax Help discusses your case with an Appraiser, presenting evidence to resolve disputes without a formal hearing.
Formal Hearing: If the informal meeting doesn't resolve the issue, Property Tax Help will request a formal hearing, where the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) will review evidence from both parties and then render a value determination.
