Property Tax Deadline One Week From Today

Did you know that appraisal districts weren’t established until 1981, following the passage of The Property Tax Code (SB 621) during the 1979 Legislative Session. Thanks 1979.

Here’s your friendly reminder that the deadline to file a protest of your property valuation is quickly approaching. We dug into each county’s websites to find detailed info to help you protest.

For Dallas County Homeowners

May 15 — Homeowner deadline to file a written protest of valuation.

How do I file a protest?
