Property Tax Protests and Appeal Procedures
The law gives property owners the right to protest actions
concerning their property tax appraisals. You may follow
these appeal procedures if you have a concern about:
*the market of special appraised value placed on your
property
*the unequal appraisal of your property
*the inclusion of your property on the appraisal roll
*any exemptions that may apply to you
*the qualification of an agricultural appraisal
*the taxable status of your property
*the local governments which should be taxing your
property
*the ownership of property
*the change of use of land receiving special appraisal
*any action taken by the chief appraiser, appraisal

their determination. The CAD may ask you for a copy of the
evidence you plan to present. The hearing will be informal.
You or a designated agent may appear in person to present
evidence or you may send notarized evidence for the ARB
to review at your hearing. The CAD representative will
present evidence about your case. You may cross-examine
the CAD representative. The ARB will make its decision
based on the evidence presented. The CAD has the burden
of establishing the property's value by a preponderance of
the evidence presented. You can get a copy of a protest form
from the appraisal district office at the Mills County Courthouse.
Note: You shouldn't try to contact ARB members outside of
the hearing. The law requires ARB members to sign an
affidavit saying that they haven't talked about your case
before the ARB hears it.
Informal Review
Will be held regular office hours 8-12 and 1-5. You may
contact Bill Presley or Bo Wright at (915) 648-2253.
Review by the Appraisal Review Board
If you can't resolve your problem informally with the
county appraisal district (CAD) staff, you may have your
case heard by the appraisal review board (ARB).
Review by the District Court
After it decides your case, the ARB must send you a copy
of its order by certified mail. If you're not satisfied with the
decision, you have the right to appeal to district court. If you
choose to go to court, you must start the process by filing a
petition within 45 days of the date you receive the ARB's
order.

The ARB is an independent board of citizens that reviews
problems with appraisals of other concerns listed above. It
has the power to order the CAD to make the necessary
changes to solve problems. If you file a written request for
an ARB hearing (called a notice of protest) before the
deadline, the ARB will set your case for a hearing. You'll
receive written notice of the time, date and place of the
hearing. If necessary, you may request a hearing in the
evening, Saturday or Sunday. Prior to your hearing, you
may ask to review the evidence the CAD will use to uphold
Tax Payment
If you appeal and your case is pending, you must pay the
lesser of the amount of taxes due on the portion of the
taxable value not in dispute or the amount of taxes due on
the property under the order from which the appeal is taken.

You can get more information by contacting your appraisal

Usual Deadline
On or before May 31 (or 30 days after a notice of appraised
value was mailed to you, whichever is later).
Late protests are allowed if you miss the usual deadline for

whether you have good cause. Late protest are due the

Special Deadlines
For change of use (the appraisal district informed you that
you are losing agricultural appraisal because you changed
the use of your land), the deadline is before the 30th day
after the notice of the determination was mailed to you.
If you believe the appraisal district or ARB should have
sent you a notice and did not, you may file a protest until
the day before taxes become delinquent (usually February
1). The ARB decides whether it will hear your case
based on evidence about whether a required notice was
mailed to you.
