As part of the informal process, property owners who file a protest have the opportunity to discuss their evidence with a TCAD appraiser. Informal meetings will be offered starting April 17, 2023. There will only be one informal meeting with a TCAD appraiser per property.
The purpose of an informal meeting is to discuss a protest on a property’s market value. Questions regarding exemptions and applications should be directed to our customer service department.
These meetings will occur by phone/videoconference. Our Get in Line Online system will keep property owners up to date on wait times and when they can expect to receive a call from a TCAD appraiser.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your protest will be dismissed if you do not appear in person, through a valid affidavit, by agent, or by pre-scheduled telephone hearing. You may request that the ARB Chairperson reopen the hearing by sending a letter within 4 days of the dismissal citing the “good cause” reason for failure to appear.
In-person hearings are conducted at the Travis Central Appraisal District office located at 850 E Anderson Lane. The hearing letter you receive will have specific instructions regarding the location of your hearing.
The Appraisal Review Board (ARB) sets protest hearing schedules. You will receive a notice of protest hearing letter by general mail at least 15 days before the scheduled formal hearing date. Included with that letter will be a copy of Property Taxpayer’s Remedies (a publication of the State Comptroller’s Office), a copy of the ARB hearing procedures, and a statement that you have the right to inspect the information that the Appraisal District plans to introduce at your hearing.
Please bring your hearing letter to expedite the check in process. You should also bring any information that you want to present to support the value you think is correct. Bring 5 sets of the evidence to the formal hearing.
