Collin County delays mailing property tax notices of assessed value until May 15. Collin County Appraisal District WILL NOT meet with taxpayers in person. It is not clear how Collin County will conduct appraisal review board hearings.
Collin County property owners are encouraged to file a property tax protest now, even before receiving the notice of assessed value from Collin County Appraisal District. It is never too early to file a property tax protest.
Property owner MUST file a protest to be able to obtain the Collin County Appraisal District Property Tax Hearing Evidence Package. Once the owner files a property tax protest, the owner or their property tax consultant is able to request and receive a complete copy of ALL evidence the Collin County Appraisal District is able to present at the property tax hearing.
The Collin County Appraisal District may not present any evidence not provided at least two weeks ahead of the appraisal review board hearing. Property owners can obtain the information by internet or U.S. Mail. There is no cost to the taxpayer to receive the property tax hearing evidence file via U.S. Mail.
Property owners can successfully appeal their own property taxes or hire a property tax consultant who is paid only part of the savings. There is no fee if there is not savings.
Taxpayers cannot know if they are over-taxed until they obtain and review the hearing evidence package. Collin County property owners should file a property tax protest now and request the appraisal district provide a copy of the hearing evidence package by U.S. Mail.
There is no cost to protest and you can get a reduction unless you protest.
