Missed the Protest Deadline? Here’s what you can do

If you missed the May 15 deadline to protest your property value, you may still have an option.

Can I still file a protest?

Yes---if you have a good reason (good cause) for missing the deadline, you can request a late protest review by the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) Chair.

What is considered “good cause”?

“Good cause” means there was a valid reason you couldn’t meet the deadline (for example: medical issues, emergency situations, etc.)

Important: Not receiving a notice does not qualify as good cause if your property value did not increase by $1,000 or more.

What do I need to submit?

Your written request must include:

• Why you missed the deadline (typically May 15th)
• Why you are protesting your property value
• Supporting evidence is required to justify your request (for example: medical documents, travel records, or other proof of your situation)

When is the deadline to request a late protest?

Your request must be received before July 20.

Where do I send my request?

You can mail or email your request to:

Chairperson of the ARB
Bexar Appraisal Revie Board
PO Box 830248
San Antonio, TX 78283
arbchair.admin@bcad.org

 What happens next?

• The ARB Chair will review your request and supporting evidence.
• A decision will be made based on the information provided.
