August-September:
This is the time period within which the Property Appraiser, on behalf of all taxing authorities, mails "Notices of Proposed Taxes" (also called a "TRIM Notice") to all property owners. This notice also includes market and the assessed value of the owner's property for the current and prior year with appeal instructions on how to file an appeal petition before the Value Adjustment Board (VAB). This is also a good time to file "Good Cause Petitions" for exemptions and agricultural classifications. Contact the Property Appraiser's staff at any one of the regional office locations for details, as the deadline of September 19, 2008 applies for late filing for exemptions, and contesting the proposed assessed value on real estate and tangible personal property. The VAB will not accept any late filed petitions after this deadline.

November 1:
This is the mailing date when the Revenue Collector mails the tax bills to property owners of record.
