HCAD said filing online is quicker to settle your property value using iFile. You can also download the HCAD mobile app.
Property owners who wish to appraise or protest their property value can use iFile to upload a claim online. You must create an account and have your unique account number from your notice available.
If you chose to settle your property value without visiting in person or filing by mail, you can do so by checking the iSettle option in your iFile to receive your settlement electronically.
If a hearing is needed, property owners can reject the offer and request a hearing with the appraisal review board. All owners who select this option must fill out an Evidence by Affidavit.
Appraisal protests can be mailed at P.O. Box 922004, Houston, TX 77092. They must be postmarked by May 16.
