Collect Evidence: Gather evidence that supports your argument that the property's value is inflated. This could include data relating to recent property sales issues, the condition of your property, or other economic factors impacting property values.
In the event a property owner disagrees with their assessed value, a protest may be filed with their appraisal district. For additional information regarding the appeal process, please contact the Bexar Appraisal District at 210-224-8511 to speak to one of their appraisers.
If you are dissatisfied with your property's appraised value or if errors exist in the appraisal records regarding your property, you should file Form 50-132, Property Owner's Notice of Protest (PDF) with the ARB.
Any ARB decision can be appealed to the state district court in the county in which the property is located. Depending on the facts and the property type, you may be able to appeal to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) or to regular binding arbitration (RBA).
