January 31 is a key deadline for certain late property tax protest filings in Texas. Property owners and their representatives may still be able to pursue a late protest or correction, even if the original deadline was missed.
Who This Applies to:
This information is intended for property managers, agents, representatives and others responsible for commercial, multifamily, industrial, or retail properties in Texas who may have missed a prior property tax protest deadline.
