Protesting Your Property Tax Appraisal in Brazoria County

BCAD does not mail a new value notice to every owner each spring. If you get one, use the date BCAD mailed it. The usual deadline is May 15 or 30 days after that mailing date, whichever is later.

BCAD's appeals page shows local filing routes. The Comptroller page has state rules and appeal choices.

You can use eProtest, mail, or file in person. Bring proof that fits your claim. This may include nearby sales, an appraisal, repair bids, or photos. A talk with an appraiser may settle the value. If not, the Appraisal Review Board hears the case. State rules may let you appear in person, by phone, by video, or by a written affidavit.

An Appraisal Review Board order may be appealed, but the deadlines are strict. Some owners may use district court, binding arbitration, or a state hearing. Read the order at once. Check the Comptroller guide and pay the amount needed to keep your appeal rights.
