Online Protest System

Your Online Protest ID can be found in the upper right corner of the Appraisal Notice. SCAD requests that you submit your online protest and include any documentation for review.

The protest deadline for most property owners is May 15 (or 30 days after the notice is mailed whichever is later). Your protest deadline is in the upper right corner of your Appraisal Notice.

Once your protest has been filed, an appraiser will review your protest and may contact you if additional information is needed.

Evidence may be submitted for review without filing a protest. To complete the process of submitting an online protest, Step 7 must be completed with the SUBMIT button.
