Dallas Central Appraisal District 2026 residential data: April notice values vs. the certified roll as of September 15, 2026, covering about 95% of residential accounts. 87 customer homes, each compared with non-customer homes in the same neighborhood within 20% of its noticed value; agent status from DCAD's taxpayer-representative field. Averages are across all homes in each group, including those with no change. The homes in this comparison average about $1.2 million in value; dollar reductions on lower-value homes would be smaller. A lower certified value can result from a protest, an informal settlement or an appraisal district correction. Past results don't guarantee future results.

Flat fee. No percentage.

When the 2027 season opens, the evidence packet is $39.99, once. A contingency firm typically keeps 25–40% of your savings, every year, for as long as the contract renews.

All figures are illustrative based on a $100/month reduction scenario at Phase 1 county effective tax rates (1.7%–2.5%). Contingency firm range (25–40%) reflects industry standard. No outcome is guaranteed.

File & Keep 100%

When the protest window opens — 2027 notices arrive in April, with a typical filing deadline of May 15 — submit your evidence to your county online. Most cases resolve with the first offer. You keep every dollar of any reduction.

Pro Tip: Why you should file every single year

There is zero downside to filing. By law, your value cannot be raised during a protest hearing. It can only go down or stay the same. Even if your evidence seems weak, the automated system often settles. If you don't file, you'll pay full price.

What your evidence packet looks like

A real, anonymized report. Every page is built for a 15-minute hearing.

Sample Evidence Report - Summary of Residential Property Protest

Modeled after real Texas Appraisal Districts' evidence standards.

Neighbors Just Like You

Up to 10 homes closest to yours in size, age, and location — from official county data.

The "Middle Price" Rule

Texas law says your taxes must be fair. We find the middle value for homes like yours. If yours is higher, that's a strong sign you're being over-assessed.

Document Your Repair Needs

The appraisal district assigns your home a broad condition rating, but doesn't know about specific repairs like an aging roof or old appliances. Our guided walkthrough helps you photograph issues and enter repair estimates from your phone in minutes. This section is optional and makes a strong case even stronger.

Ready-to-Print Evidence

Formatted as an "Official Exhibit." Print it out or upload it to the county website in minutes.

Keep 100% of Your Savings

You see every piece of evidence before you pay. $39.99 flat. No percentage of your savings. No auto-renewing contracts.

Step-by-Step for Your County

Your filing guide includes your county's portal link, deadline reminders, and a framework to evaluate any settlement offer you receive.
