How property tax appeals work in Dallas County

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

DCAD uses uFile for online protests. The district handles a high volume each year — file early in April for the best informal hearing slots before the May 15 deadline.

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