2 Weeks Until Property Tax Protest Deadlines Approach, Tarrant Extends Deadline to May 24
Share News:
With deadlines looming like those distant storm clouds Pete Delkus warned us about this weekend, homeowners and property owners across North Texas are gearing up to navigate the labyrinth of paperwork and procedures that define the property tax protest process.
Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Rockwall counties have May 15 deadlines to file a protest. Tarrant County homeowners on the other hand might see a silver lining as their protest deadline has been pushed back to May 24.
After the Tarrant County site was cyberattacked in late March and its data held for ransom, the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) announced this week nearly all their data and systems have been restored and property tax operations are back on track.
“Thank you for your understanding during our recovery from the ransomware incident,” a notice to site visitors read.
Dashboard, Documents, Online Protest, and Value Negotiation now available
We are thrilled to announce the restoration of essential services at the Tarrant Appraisal District following the recent ransomware event. Our team has been diligently working to bring back key functionalities, and we’re excited to share these updates with you.
What’s Back?
- Dashboard: Access your dashboard once again to view critical information and manage your account efficiently.
- Online Protest: The online protest feature is now available, allowing you to submit your protests conveniently from anywhere.
- Value Negotiation: Engage in value negotiation discussions seamlessly through our restored platform.
Extended Deadlines
To accommodate our users during this recovery phase, we are extending important deadlines:
- Online Protest Deadline: The protest deadline is extended until May 24th, providing you with 30 days from today to submit your protests.
- Business Personal Property Rendition Penalty: Due to the temporary inability to receive online renditions, we are waiving the penalty if received by May 15th.
Thank you for your understanding during our recovery from the ransomware incident. Please note that our website may exhibit intermittent behavior as we continue our recovery efforts. Our team is actively monitoring and adjusting site performance to ensure smooth operation. If you encounter any slowness or issues, we recommend trying again during off-peak times (before 10:00 am, between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm, or after 6:00 pm). For persistent problems, please contact us.
We remain dedicated to improving the taxpayer experience even during the challenges of ransomware recovery.
