All waivers of liability and protections granted by this agreement will still remain in effect.

I understand that if I receive a notice at any time that a hearing date has been scheduled, I release Chandler Crouch from any obligation to assist me with my protest. I agree that if I or anyone else on my behalf begins the process of protesting, I will not submit this form.

Chandler is still more than happy to help by answering questions and providing information.

It has only one account number and it is not specifically designated as split boundary or percentage ownership. I understand that protest requests for commercial, unimproved land, split boundary, percentage ownership, and all other property types that are not single family residential do not qualify for Chandler Crouch’s protest service.

  • New mailing address, telephone number or email address
  • Sale of property or any other change in the status of record ownership of the property
  • Any modification to the property that impacts its value such as change of use, additions/removals and/or structural defects
