How to file in Tom Green County
- Step 1 · by 17 May 2027
File the protest
Online at www.southwestdatasolution.com with the account number on your notice, or by mailing Form 50-132. State the grounds the county recognises: incorrect appraised value and unequal appraisal.
- Step 2 · before the hearing
Prepare and submit your evidence
Ask the appraisal district for the evidence it will use at the hearing; it must make it available at least 14 days before (Tex. Tax Code §41.461). Bring your own: comparable appraised values (for an unequal-appraisal protest), photos of condition issues, repair estimates and any recent sales you have. Saying the value is wrong is not enough; the panel decides on evidence.
- Step 3
Meet, then hear
An informal review with Tom Green County Appraisal District appraiser comes first; if you decline the offer, the Tom Green County Appraisal District Appraisal Review Board hears the case. Most reductions happen at the first step.

Who hears my protest in Tom Green County?
The Tom Green County Appraisal District Appraisal Review Board, a panel of county residents separate from the district’s appraisers. You can usually meet informally with a district appraiser first and settle without a hearing.
Can I protest if sale prices are not public in Texas?
