PROPERTY TAX – NOTICE OF PROTEST

Appraisal district name

Phone (Area code and number)

Address

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 appraisal district or the ARB was required by law to send you notice about a property and did not; or

• the ARB made a change to the appraisal records that adversely affects you and you received notice of the change;

• 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 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.

POSTPONEMENT: You are entitled to one postponement of the hearing without showing good cause if you have not designated an agent to represent you at the hearing. You

are also entitled to postpone your hearing if you or your agent show reasonable cause for the postponement. You must request this postponement to the appraisal review board

before the date of the hearing.
