How to Protest Your Preliminary 2008 Travis, Williamson or Hays County Tax Appraisal - Important Information About How and Where to Begin!
I've been getting a lot of inquiries and thought I'd pass along this information for anyone who might need it.
Important Information About Your 2008 Tax Appraisal
Check your mail: Appraisal notices in Travis and Williamson County have been mailed and you should have received them by now. In Hays County, notices are expected to start arriving in early May. If you do NOT receive your notice it probably means the Appraisal District for you county does not have your correct mailing address and you MUST contact them. They're not going to hunt you down and you don't want to miss an opportunity to contest the new values.
To Protest: VERY IMPORTANT - The deadline for protesting property appraisals is June 1, or 30 days after receiving the appraisal notice, whichever comes last.
