year. The date of appraisal, as required by law, is January 1, 2021, meaning the trends and market forces leading up to and existing at that time were used to establish the values for 2021. We have included a letter which outlines the process we will follow for this upcoming protest season. As with last year, impromptu walkin or call-in conversations with an appraiser will not be available this year. Property owners with a dispute will need to first file a protest and indicate the nature of their dispute. This action secures your right to a hearing before the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). Appraisers will review and, if possible, work to resolve the issue informally. Most issues are easily resolved provided there is sufficient evidence to allow a change. To expedite this process, owners/agents are encouraged to utilize the online portal indicated on the appraisal notice. Otherwise, owners/agents can complete the protest form included with their notice and either mail it in or hand deliver to the Appraisal District office. Please pay attention to the deadline to protest. Although you have the right to protest, the law is very clear on the deadline to exercise that right. So please take a little time, open the mail and raise whatever issue you may have in a timely manner or early if possible. Continued
