Lampasas Central Appraisal District
Lampasas Central Appraisal District is committed to providing property owners with clear information regarding the informal protest process. We welcome the opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about your Notice of Appraised Value.
Informal Conference Procedures
Property owners will be notified of their informal conference appointment by mail. The appointment letter will include the date, time, and the appraiser assigned to the conference.
An informal conference includes any discussion regarding property value or property characteristics conducted in person, by telephone, or by email.
During the conference, appraisal staff will review the property record and any supporting evidence provided by the property owner. Based on the information presented, the appraiser may recommend an adjustment to the property value.
Following the informal conference, one of the following may occur:
- If an agreement is reached between the property owner and appraisal staff, the value will be finalized through a signed settlement and waiver agreement.
- If an agreement is not reached, the protest will proceed to a formal hearing before the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). A separate notice containing the hearing date and time will be mailed to the property owner.
