How to get help
File a written protest with the appraisal review board for the appraisal district where the property is located. Form 50-132 may be used but is not required if the written notice sufficiently identifies the property, owner, and dissatisfaction. In most cases, file by May 15 or 30 days from the appraisal district notice's mailing date, whichever is later.
