Form 50-162, the Appointment of Agent for Property Tax Matters, is the official Texas Comptroller form property owners use to authorize a lessee or another person to represent them before the appraisal district. The form is governed by Section 1.111 of the Texas Property Tax Code and Comptroller Rule 9.3044.
Before the appointment takes effect, the completed form must be filed with the appraisal district where the property is located. Owners may grant the agent authority over all properties on the account or limit it to specific ones identified by account number, address, or legal description. Once filed, the agent receives all tax-related communications from the taxing authority.
The designation stays active until the owner or agent submits a written revocation or the expiration date on the form is reached. If you handle multiple Texas property tax matters, you may also need the Texas property tax Form 50-285, the Property Tax Return form, or a general Agent Authorization Form for related filings.
