    Understanding the Property Tax Protest Process

    • Homeowners file a protest for incorrect property valuations.
    • An informal hearing allows homeowners to discuss their concerns with a property appraiser before proceeding to the formal protest
    • The Appraisal Review Board reviews evidence from both parties.
    • The board makes evidence-based decisions to resolve valuation disputes.

    The appraisal district appraises property values for taxes, allowing homeowners to dispute inaccurate valuations. The Appraisal Review Board reviews evidence from both HCAD appraisal district and
    homeowners to resolve disputes fairly.
