Texas Porch
Tax Protest Practical

You can protest your property value in Gregg County

Gregg CAD sends a Notice of Appraised Value when state law calls for one. It does not send one to every owner each spring. File a written protest with the Gregg Appraisal Review Board by May 15 or 30 days after the notice arrives, whichever is later. Use the date printed on your notice.

Good proof may include sales of similar homes, an appraisal, closing papers, repair bids, and clear photos of property problems. An informal talk with Gregg CAD may help. It does not protect your rights unless the formal protest is filed on time.

Texas allows a few late routes, such as good cause or failure to get a required notice. After the board rules, some owners may use court, binding arbitration, or a state hearing. Each has its own due date. The current Comptroller guide and Gregg CAD rules explain the next step.
