How property tax appeals work in Cameron County
Every Texas homeowner has a right to protest their assessed value under Texas Property Tax Code §41.41. In Cameron County, protests are handled by the Cameron Appraisal District (Cameron CAD). The deadline is May 15, 2027, or 30 days after your appraisal notice was mailed, whichever is later.
Cameron CAD has bilingual support. Border-area construction quality varies widely, so be specific in your protest about square footage and condition adjustments.
The strongest protests include 3-7 comparable sales from the last 12 months in your immediate neighborhood, adjusted for square footage, age, and condition. Brownsville / Harlingen-area assessors typically reduce values when presented with clear, recent comp data.
Cameron County is one of the counties in our Texas Over-Assessment Study, where we ran millions of homes through the same unequal-appraisal comparison the Cameron CAD uses. You can check your own address free in 30 seconds, or read our full methodology first.
