A property tax appeal (also called a protest) is a formal process where you challenge your county appraisal district's assessed value of your home.

In Texas, the deadline to file a property tax protest is May 15, 2026 (or 30 days after your appraisal notice is mailed, whichever is later). There are no extensions.
