EDINBURG, Texas - The Texas Comptroller’s Office has a page on its website pointing out that taxpayers have the right to protest an appraisal review board decision.
“You may protest if you disagree with the appraisal district value or any of the appraisal district's actions concerning your property,” the Comptroller’s Office states.
“If you are dissatisfied with the ARB's findings, you have the right to appeal the ARB's decision. Any ARB decision can be appealed to the state district court in the county in which the property is located. Depending on the facts and the type of property, you may be able to appeal to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) or to binding arbitration.”
Earlier this month the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service uploaded a Spanish language video story on Facebook about the work of the Hidalgo County Appraisal District.
Now, we bring you the English version.
In the video, Guardian anchor Mari Regalado interviews Hidalgo County Appraisal District's assistant chief appraiser, Jorge L. Gonzalez, about how to best protest appraisal rates.
