If you feel that your property tax bill in Texas is too high, filing a property tax protest can help reduce it. The process starts by reviewing your appraisal notice, which will show your property’s assessed value, directly affecting how much you owe in taxes. If the value seems too high compared to similar properties, gather supporting evidence like recent sales data, photos of damage, or repair estimates. File your protest with your local appraisal district—typically by May 15 or within 30 days of receiving your notice. Once submitted, you may present your case to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). A successful Texas property tax protest can lead to a lower assessed value and significant savings on your tax bill.
