Can I still protest Texas property taxes if I missed the May 15 deadline?

Usually no for a standard annual protest. Texas requires a timely Notice of Protest (Form 50-132) by May 15 or 30 days from your notice mail date. After that, only narrow remedies like clerical corrections or disaster reappraisal may apply.

Does missing the protest deadline mean I pay the full appraised value?

For that tax year, the appraised value on your notice generally becomes the basis for your bill unless another legal remedy applies. You can still prepare evidence for next year when notices arrive in April.

Can I file binding arbitration without protesting on time?

In most cases binding arbitration and judicial appeal require a timely protest and an ARB order first. Consult a Texas property tax attorney if you had a hearing and disagree with the outcome.

What should I do now if I missed the Texas protest deadline?

Verify your property record for errors, pull comparable sales for next season, calendar May 15, and consider Protestly to build an ARB-ready comp packet before notices hit mailboxes.
