You filed your own protest — let's verify and set up representation

We'll look up your protest with the appraisal district and confirm it's on file before sending you a service agreement. If the county has no record of your filing, we cannot create a protest after the May 15 deadline.

Please share the filing details below and attach proof of filing (a confirmation email, screenshot, or PDF from the appraisal district) so we can verify the protest is on file.
