We direct you to a form that our clients can fill out that is issued by the appraisal district in Texas.

The filing is required to be done annually, and it must indicate the basis of taxation and the current market value of your property.
Check the Appraisal Record Card
Every city belongs to an appraisal district, and an appraisal district has a comprehensive record for each property that has been accessed in the past. The information in the report is valuable, and ncludes the size of the building, amenities, and property, total land acres and other information. You can check and review the appraisal report from an official county or state website, and it must be the district where the property is located.
Protest Hearing
After filing a property tax protest, the district appraiser will notify you of a date and time to attend a hearing. During the hearing, the review board may ask you the value of your home, so it is not right to attend the hearing without having all your information readily available and in hand. You must prepare yourself with a realistic answer and an accurate value; you must not appear for a hearing clueless because the review board does not accept "I do not know" as answer to their question. At the end of the hearing, you may get an offer to settle, or your protest appeal for your property tax may be rejected.
