If you want the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) to hear and decide your case, you must file a written Notice of Protest.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: This form is used for a property owner or an owner’s designated agent to file a protest with the appraisal review board (ARB) pursuant to
Tax Code Section 41.41. Lessees contractually obligated to reimburse a property owner for property taxes may be entitled to protest as a lessee if all Tax Code
requirements are met, including those in Tax Code Section 41.413. Protests must be filed using the Online Appeals website or by mail or hand delivery.
DEADLINES: With exceptions, the typical deadline for filing a protest (having it postmarked, if you mail it) is midnight, May 15.
A different deadline may apply if:
your notice of appraised value was postmarked after April 16;
your protest concerns a change in the use of agricultural, open-space or timberland;
the appraisal district or the ARB was required by law to send the property owner a notice about a property and did not;
the ARB made a change to the appraisal records that adversely affects the property owner and the property owner received notice of the change; or
in certain limited circumstances, the property owner had good cause for missing the protest filing deadline. (The ARB determines good cause for missing the deadline.)
