A General Real Estate Rendition of Taxable Property is a form you may use to report the taxable property you own on January 1 to your appraisal district. The rendition identifies, describes and gives the location of your taxable property. Persons filing renditions who are not the property owner, owner's employee or owner's affiliated entity must have the rendition notarized.
Advantages:
If you file a rendition, you are in a better position to exercise your right as a taxpayer.
- Your correct mailing address is established on record so taxing units will send your tax bills to the right address.
- Your opinion of your property's value is on record with the appraisal district. The chief appraiser must send you a notice of appraised value if he or she places a higher value on your property than the value you listed on your rendition.
Deadline:
File your rendition with the appraisal district after January 1 and no later than April 15th.
- You may request, in writing for a mandatory extension for May 15th. The chief appraiser may extend the deadline another 15 days beyond May 15th if good cause is given.
