Property value notices are landing in mailboxes across El Paso County. Appraisal officials are telling homeowners to read those notices carefully and to file a protest if a value looks wrong.
These mailings show the appraisal district’s new value for each home. That value can affect property taxes. It also reflects how the appraisal office sees current local market conditions.
Officials want people to check the details. Look for errors in square footage, the number of bedrooms or bathrooms, or other facts about the home. Compare the notice to your own records and recent sales nearby.
If you disagree with the value, you can file a protest with the county appraisal district. Many districts let you start the process online. You can also submit evidence and request a hearing to make your case.
Deadlines matter. Missing the protest deadline can limit your options. File early so you have time to gather documents and prepare for a hearing if one is needed.
After protests are reviewed, the appraisal district may adjust values up or down. Homeowners who have questions should check the appraisal district’s website or contact their office for specific instructions and resources.
