Protest Deadline
For property owners seeking to file an appeal (protest) with the ARB (Appraisal Review Board) the deadline is set to no later than May 15th, 2023 (or within 30 days after a notice of appraised value was mailed to you, whichever is later)
Late protests are allowed for good cause if you miss the usual deadline.
The ARB decides whether you have good cause.
Late protests are not allowed after the ARB approves the appraisal records for the year.

Step 3: Await Response
If you requested an Informal Conference, an FBCAD Appraiser will proceed to contact you.
If a settlement is reached, then the Formal Hearing will be cancelled.
If a settlement is not reached, then you will be scheduled for a Formal Hearing with the Appraisal Review Board (ARB).
If you did not request an Informal Conference, then the ARB will send you a hearing notice for your Formal Hearing.
Please note that FBCAD receives thousands of protests each year.
A response may take as little as a few days or weeks or as much as a few months.
We will work diligently to contact you as soon as possible.
