The protest process is the same statewide

Every Texas county runs the same legal process: the county appraisal district proposes a value, you protest by the deadline, evidence is exchanged, and the case can resolve informally or go before an appraisal review board. What differs by county is the appraisal district you file with, the portal you use, and the local evidence that matters.

Deadline: May 15, or 30 days after your notice is delivered — whichever is later (Tax Code §41.44)
Two arguments, one protest: market value (§41.41) and equal-and-uniform (§41.43)
Evidence beats opinion: comparable sales, equity grids, and market data
A concise, source-backed packet is useful for both informal review and ARB backup

Questions

Is protesting worth it if my increase was small?+

Usually yes. Reductions compound: this year's final value is the baseline the district grows from next year. Homestead owners also benefit because a lower market value eventually pulls down the capped appraised value.

Can I protest in any Texas county?+

Yes — the right to protest is statewide. FightMyAppraisal currently generates packets for Travis County, with the counties listed on this page opening for the 2027 season based on waitlist demand.

Do you file the protest for me?+

No. This is a self-file document product. You file with your county appraisal district — online in most major counties — and the packet includes a step-by-step filing checklist.
