First review your annual property tax appraisal letter. If you see any errors or something appears incorrect, you can file an informal appeal with your local appraisal district (CAD). You must gather together evidence that can prove your case, such as deeds, construction documentation, and bills from contractors. If you have evidence on your side, then the CAD may offer you a settlement. If you are unable to land a settlement, or it is below your expectations, you can then appeal to the appraisal review board (ARB) for a formal hearing. The ARB is an impartial three-person board that will rule on the evidence you provide vs. what the CAD claims. This takes more evidence than an informal appeal and can take a good bit of time.

Alternatively, you can sign up with an agent like O’Connor.
