What Is Protest Deadline?

Definition
The last day you can file a property tax protest with your county appraisal district. In Texas, the standard deadline is May 15 or 30 days after your Notice of Appraised Value is mailed, whichever is later.

Why This Matters for Your Protest

Missing the protest deadline means losing your right to challenge your property's value for the entire tax year. Mark your calendar as soon as you receive your Notice of Appraised Value. Filing early gives you more time to gather evidence and often gets you an earlier hearing date, when appraisers may be more willing to negotiate.
