How to File a Harris County Property Tax Protest and Save Money - taxcutter - 03-11-2025
Filing a Harris County property tax protest is a smart way to potentially lower your property tax bill if you believe your home or commercial property has been overvalued. Start by reviewing your appraisal notice from the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) and compare the assessed value with recent sales of similar properties. Gather supporting evidence such as photos, repair estimates, or market data. You can file your protest online through the HCAD website or by mail typically within 30 days of the appraisal notice date. If necessary, present your case to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). A well-prepared property tax protest can result in a fairer valuation and significant tax savings.
