Texas gives every homeowner the right to protest their appraised value — by May 15, or 30 days after your notice was mailed, whichever is later — and the procedure is identical in all 254 counties. This kit turns that right into a ready-to-file plan: your personalized appeal letter, the Form 50-132 walkthrough, an evidence checklist and the ARB hearing playbook, generated as a PDF for your county. One-time $49.
$3,395 implied annual tax at your county's median rate
Anderson County: median effective rate 0.97%, median home value $173,400, median annual tax $1,688 (U.S. Census ACS).
This free preview uses county medians. The paid kit adds your personalized filing letter, the uniform Texas deadlines and procedure, the evidence checklist, and the hearing playbook — as a ready-to-use PDF.
One-time payment via Stripe. Instant PDF download after payment — no account needed. Educational self-help document, not legal or appraisal advice.
What's inside the kit
Five sections, personalized with your property's numbers and your county's Census medians:
1. Your assessment in context — your noticed value against your county's median home value, median tax bill and effective rate, plus what each $10,000 of reduction is worth to you per year.
2. The uniform Texas procedure — the seven steps from notice to written order, with the deadlines that apply identically statewide (Tax Code Chapter 41), including the narrow late-filing exceptions.
3. Evidence checklist — the eight kinds of evidence the Comptroller's guidance recognizes, from comparable sales to repair estimates, and your right to demand the district's own evidence in writing.
4. Your appeal letter — a fill-in letter pre-populated with your name, property and values, structured around both protest grounds (market value and equal-and-uniform).
5. Hearing playbook — what actually moves an ARB panel, what wastes your time, and when to take the informal offer.
Why protest at all?
The protest is free to file, the informal conference settles many cases without a hearing, and the ARB's order binds only the current year — the downside is bounded. Firms charge 25-35% of your first-year savings for the same fundamentals: deadlines met, evidence organized, both protest grounds argued. This kit gives you the structure to do it yourself for a flat $49.

Frequently asked questions
Which states does the kit cover?
Texas only for now — its procedure is uniform across all 254 counties, which is what makes a rigorous statewide kit possible. Other states are planned.
Is this legal advice or representation?
No. It's an educational self-help document built from the Texas Comptroller's published guidance and U.S. Census data. Calcuris is not a law firm or a registered property tax agent, and doesn't file anything on your behalf.
When is the filing deadline?
May 15, or 30 days after the date your Notice of Appraised Value was mailed — whichever is later. The kit also covers the narrow late-filing exceptions (missing notice, substantial over-appraisal corrections, clerical errors).
How do I get the kit after paying?
Payment goes through Stripe Checkout; your personalized PDF downloads immediately on the confirmation page. Keep the confirmation link — it re-downloads the same kit.
Does the kit include comparable properties for my house?
It includes your county's Census medians and a step-by-step method to pull the comparables grid from your appraisal district — the district's own data is what the ARB weighs, so the kit shows you how to request and use it rather than substituting weaker third-party numbers.
What if my county isn't listed?
The list covers every Texas county with published Census medians. If yours is missing, don't buy — email us instead and we'll tell you whether we can generate it.
Can I get a refund?
If the kit doesn't generate correctly or you bought it for the wrong property, reply to your Stripe receipt and we'll refund or regenerate it.
