What to check on your notice
If your 2026 notice shows a higher value than last year, ask why. The typical Spring Branch home lost 0.4% over the same stretch. A higher number can still be right for a specific home, for example after a remodel, but the appraisal district should be able to explain it.

Deadline and where to file
Spring Branch values are set by the local appraisal district. May 15, or 30 days after the appraisal district's notice was delivered to you, whichever is later. A late protest is allowed only if the ARB finds good cause and the appraisal records have not yet been approved.
Reading this in fall 2026? The 2026 protest deadline has passed, and a late protest is only possible with good cause before the records are approved, which has almost certainly happened by October. Your next realistic chance is for 2027 values: districts must mail notices by April 1, 2027 for homesteads (May 1 for other property, or as soon as practical after), and the deadline is May 15, 2027 or 30 days after delivery of your notice, whichever is later. May 15, 2027 falls on a Saturday, so confirm with your district whether it rolls to Monday, May 17. File early rather than relying on that.
