Next, they'll prepare and file all necessary appeal documents with the Travis County Appraisal Review Board. You won't need to take time off work for hearings - they'll represent you throughout the process. They'll present your case professionally, using market data and property analysis to support your position. Most cases resolve within 60-90 days of filing.
