How property tax appeals work in Bell County

Every Texas homeowner has a right to protest their assessed value under Texas Property Tax Code §41.41. In Bell County, protests are handled by the Bell County Tax Appraisal District (Bell CAD). The deadline is May 15, 2026 — or 30 days after your appraisal notice was mailed, whichever is later.

Bell CAD serves the Fort Cavazos military community. Frequent PCS-driven sales create unusual comp distributions — bring same-cycle sales to support your appeal.

The strongest protests include 3-7 comparable sales from the last 12 months in your immediate neighborhood, adjusted for square footage, age, and condition. Killeen / Temple-area assessors typically reduce values when presented with clear, recent comp data.
