Travis County property tax protest

Travis County is our second county. Neighbourhood medians are computed from the TCAD bulk appraisal roll — they will appear here once the roll has been parsed. Until then, the pages below show the process, the deadline, and how to file.

2027 protest deadline

Monday, May 17, 2027. May 15, 2027 is a Saturday, so the deadline moves to the next business day under §1.06. This date is derived from statute — TCAD has not published a 2027 deadline yet; confirm it against your notice when it arrives (~April 2027).

How a protest works in Travis County

  1. TCAD mails appraisal notices in April. The protest deadline is May 15 — or 30 days after your notice, whichever is later.
  2. File online through the TCAD E-File portal (traviscad.org/efile) and upload your evidence there, or file on paper with Form 50-132. You pick the argument: unequal appraisal, market value, or both.
  3. TCAD reviews your protest and may send a settlement offer. If you don't accept it, you get one informal meeting with a TCAD appraiser.
  4. If you still disagree, your case goes to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). Hearings are at 850 E Anderson Lane, Austin, TX 78752 — you appear yourself, or with a representative you hire.

ProtestPath never files for you and never appears for you. We give you the numbers and the evidence pack; you file it.
