How to Protest Your Property Appraisal Online Through the Bexar Appraisal District Website Using Hausly Data
Here's a step-by-step guide for filing your protest online:
- Visit the Bexar Appraisal District website at www.bcad.org
- Navigate to "Online Services" on their homepage
- Log in if you have an existing account, or create a new account using the PIN from your appraisal notice
- Click on "Online Appeals", then click the green button that says "Click Here to E-File"
- Select your preferences at the top of the form:
- If you wish to handle the entire process electronically, check "E-file my protest and conduct the rest of the process electronically through this website"
- Choose your reason(s) for protest from the available options:
- "Value is unequal compared to similar properties" is likely the most effective option if using Hausly data, as Hausly specializes in comparative property analysis
- Other valid options include:
- Value is over market value
- Exemption was denied or incorrect
- Property is incorrectly described
- Enter your opinion of value based on your research
- In the free text field, you can either:
- Use the pre-written template provided, or
- Edit it to include specific information about your property or use different wording
- Review all information before submission
- Click "Submit" to complete your protest filing
- Save your confirmation number for future reference
Submitting Additional Evidence
You can submit additional evidence online after filing your protest. We recommend:
- Tailoring your Hausly Google Sheet to highlight the most relevant comparable properties
- Exporting it as a CSV file
- Submitting this data when requested by the appraisal district during the protest process
While Hausly's data is particularly well-suited for the "unequal compared to similar properties" protest basis, you should select the option(s) that best represent your specific situation. The Bexar Appraisal District allows you to select multiple protest reasons if applicable to your case.
