HB 1284 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the duty of an appraisal review board to determine a motion or protest filed by a property owner and the right of the owner to appeal the board's determination.

HB 1284 amends Texas Tax Code sections to clarify the process for property owners challenging tax appraisals. It requires appraisal review boards to issue written decisions on property owners' motions to correct appraisal rolls (under Section 25.25) and protests (under Chapter 41), and explicitly prohibits boards from claiming owners forfeited their right to file or have these motions/protests considered. This directly affects property owners who disagree with their tax assessments and seek to appeal through the appraisal review process. The bill applies only to motions filed after its effective date, ensuring future cases follow this standardized procedure.
