Property owners who believe their county appraisal district has over estimated the value of their homes or businesses have a right to appeal to their local Appraisal Review Board (ARB) to reduce their property values. Two video presentations on Texas Comptroller Susan Combs’ website inform homeowners and small business owners about protest procedures, what to expect during an appraisal hearing and how to make an effective presentation to the review board. See the May 13 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald for more information.
