This is the time period which the Property Appraiser, on behalf of all taxing authorities, mails "Notices of Proposed Taxes" ("TRIM Notice") to all property owners. This notice includes market and the assessed value of the owner's property for the current and prior year with appeal instructions on how to file an appeal petition before the Value Adjustment Board.

Contact our staff for details, as the deadline  for contesting the proposed assessed value is the same for appeals filed on real estate and tangible personal property.
