Brazos County property tax protest.
Between Bryan and College Station, Brazos County values have climbed with the region's growth. We protest over assessed homes, land and commercial property across the county, and we handle the filing and the Brazos CAD hearing for you. You pay only if we bring your value down.
Who sets your Brazos County value.
Your property is appraised by the Brazos Central Appraisal District, or Brazos CAD, based in Bryan. Each spring the district mails a Notice of Appraised Value that sets the number your tax bill is built on. If that number is too high, the time to challenge it is short.
A protest is filed with Brazos CAD and, if it is not resolved informally, heard by the Brazos County Appraisal Review Board. We handle both for you. You do not deal with the district and you do not attend the hearing.
One thing worth knowing: Brazos CAD appraises your property, but it does not collect the tax. That is the county tax office, which sends the bill later in the year based on the value the district set.
District details can change. Confirm current contact information and deadlines with Brazos CAD directly before you rely on them.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| January 1 | Value is set as of this date for the year |
| April | Brazos CAD mails Notices of Appraised Value |
| April 30 | General deadline to file exemptions |
| May 15 | Protest deadline, or 30 days after your notice, whichever is later |
| Spring to fall | Protest season, we work your case to a result |
| January 31 | Property tax bill due |
Dates shift slightly year to year and if a deadline lands on a weekend or holiday. Confirm your exact date on your notice or with Brazos CAD.
The deadline is the part you can't get back.
The Brazos County protest deadline is May 15, or 30 days after the district delivers your notice, whichever is later. Miss it, and your value for the year is generally locked in, along with the bill that follows in January.
Send us your notice as soon as it arrives in April. The earlier we have it, the more room we have to do the job right instead of racing the clock.

Brazos County property tax questions
Will protesting raise my appraisal?
No. Under Texas Tax Code §41.47(b), the review board can't set your value higher than the amount already on your notice as a result of your protest. It comes down, or it stays the same.
When is the Brazos deadline?
May 15, or 30 days after Brazos CAD delivers your notice, whichever is later. Notices typically go out in April.
What does it cost?
One third of what we save you. No minimum fee, no filing fee, no per parcel charge. If we don't win a reduction, you pay nothing.
Do I have to go to the hearing?
No. We represent you at Brazos CAD and before the review board, so you don't need to take time off or appear.
