Notice of Availability of Electronic Communications

January 31, 2026

Appraisal district chief appraisers and appraisal review boards (ARBs) may communicate electronically through email or other media with property owners or their designated representatives. Written agreements are required for notices and other documents to be delivered electronically in place of mailing.

How does it work? Certain guidelines must be followed for this local option communication:

  • Written agreements with the appraisal district must be entered first, ensuring what
    electronic means of delivery are acceptable. If you are interested in receiving communications
    in electronic format, you should contact your local appraisal district.
  • Public notice regarding the availability of agreement forms authorizing electronic
    communications may be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the district on or
    before Feb. 1 each year, or agreement forms may be delivered on or before Feb. 1 each year
    to property owners shown on the certified appraisal roll for the preceding tax year.
  • The chief appraiser may determine the medium, format, content and method to be used for
    electronic communications other than notices required by Tax Code Section 25.19, which are
    prescribed by rule.
  • A decision by the chief appraiser not to enter into agreements may not be the subject of an
    ARB protest, a lawsuit or a complaint to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
