Kleberg County Property Tax Protests Resolved Informally

Kleberg County property owners who file a property tax protest have three primary options to resolve their protest. These include the: 1) informal hearing, 2) the formal hearing (or appraisal review board), and 3) judicial appeal or binding arbitration. Most property tax protests are resolved at the informal hearing.

In 2019, 70% of all Kleberg County informally resolved protests were commercial / other.

Kleberg CAD Informal Settlements

The Kleberg County Appraisal District cannot require an informal hearing. Most property owners attempt to settle during the informal hearing. In some cases, they agree to the initial value after seeing the appraisal district’s evidence.

This means that they stop their journey to protest right there. However, there is more that property owners can do. By settling at the informal hearing, a property owner is waiving their right to continue the property tax appeal. Property owners not satisfied with the offer at the informal hearing can continue to the appraisal review board hearing, and even to a district court lawsuit.
