You may protest if you disagree with the appraisal district value or any of the appraisal district s actions concerning your property.
If you are dissatisfied with the ARB s findings, you have the right to appeal the ARB s decision. Depending on the facts and type of property, you may be able to appeal to the state district court in the county in which your property is located; to an independent arbitrator; or to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH).
