Filing a commercial property tax protest is an effective way to reduce your business's tax liability. Start by reviewing the annual property appraisal notice you receive from the local appraisal district, which will detail the assessed value of your property. If you believe the value is inflated compared to similar properties, gather supporting evidence, such as recent sales data, income and expense reports, or property condition photos. File your protest within the designated period, typically by May 15 or within 30 days of receiving the appraisal notice. After filing, you may be scheduled for an informal meeting with an appraiser or attend a formal hearing with the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). A successful commercial property tax protest can lead to a lower assessed value and substantial savings on your business taxes, freeing up capital for other expenses.
