Questions
Do I need the kit to protest?
No. You can protest free online or with Comptroller Form 50-132.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. It's self-help information. For advice, talk to a Texas attorney, a CPA or a TDLR-licensed property tax consultant.
Will it lower my taxes?
We can't promise that. It depends on your evidence and the appraisal review board.
My county isn't listed.
The general Texas steps apply everywhere, but the filing instructions are written for these 21 districts.
