When Will 2026 Appraisal Notices Go Out?

Each year, Texas county appraisal districts mail notices of appraised value to property owners. These notices inform you of the district's assessed value for your property and are your official starting point for filing a protest if you disagree with the valuation.

2026 Timeline

Most Texas counties mail appraisal notices between April and May. The exact timing varies by county. Larger counties like Harris and Travis typically mail notices in April, while smaller counties may send them in May.

Protest Deadlines

The standard deadline to file a property tax protest is May 15 or 30 days after the notice is mailed, whichever is later. This deadline applies to most property types.

We recommend contacting us as soon as you receive your notice. Early filing gives us more time to analyze your property and prepare a strong case for reduction.

What to Do When You Receive Your Notice

Review the assessed value on your notice and compare it to your understanding of your property's market value. Check the property description for any errors in square footage, lot size, or property features. If you believe the value is too high, contact us for a free review before the protest deadline.
