This means that they stop their journey to protest right there. However, there is more that property owners can do. By settling at the informal hearing, a property owner is waiving their right to continue the property tax appeal. Property owners not satisfied with the offer at the informal hearing can continue to the appraisal review board hearing, and even to a district court lawsuit.
