Filing a property tax protest is one of the most effective ways to reduce your annual tax bill if you believe your property has been overvalued. Start by reviewing your appraisal notice and comparing your assessed value to recent sales of similar properties in your area. Gather evidence such as photos, repair estimates, or comparable sales data to support your case. Then, submit your property tax protest to your local appraisal district either online or by mail before the deadline, which usually falls within 30 days of receiving your notice. If needed, attend a hearing with the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) to present your evidence. With proper preparation, this process can lead to a fairer valuation and meaningful tax savings.
