Beginning on April 26 protests to the ARB can be filed by electronic communications via the HCAD website using the Online Protest or in written form. The Hood Central Appraisal District (HCAD) would prefer that all property owners file their protest online using HCAD's website www.hood-cad.org instead of visiting our office to speak with an appraiser or mailing in a protest.

INFORMAL APPRAISAL REVIEW PROCEDURE
TAAD REAL ESTATE VALUE INCREASES

A protest must be filed by May 26, or no later than 30 days after the Appraisal District delivers a Notice of Appraised Value to you, whichever is later. If the protest deadline falls on a weekend or holiday then the protest deadline is the first business day after that date. For most, the deadline to file a written protest for the 2023 Tax Year is May 26th.
