Property-tax appeals in Texas
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in Texas.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | May 15 or 30 days after the appraisal district delivers the notice of appraised value, whichever is later (Tex. Tax Code 41.44(a)(1)) |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | Appraisal Review Board (ARB); binding arbitration or district court beyond the board |
| Who may represent you | Paid agents who present an appeal for an owner must be property tax consultants registered/licensed with TDLR under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1152; attorneys, CPAs and licensed brokers/appraisers are exempt. A DIY packet seller does not file or represent - Corriden states this expressly to stay on the right side of Texas consultant-licensing law |
Value protection sourced: the source report cites Texas Tax Code 41.43 protection (via Ownwell) - a protest does not raise the value on this ground, so can_raise_risk is false as sourced. Texas reassesses annually, so savings do not lock in and owners re-protest each year. Forms: 50-132 (protest) and 50-162 (agent appointment), per source report checklist. Equal-and-uniform (uniformity) is the basis of the proven Texas DIY commercial packet model (Corriden, Tarrant/Dallas/Harris). Ownwell full-service state.
What wins in Texas
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
