How to protest property taxes in El Paso County
Every Texas homeowner has a right to protest their assessed value under Texas Property Tax Code §41.41. In El Paso County, protests are handled by the El Paso Central Appraisal District (EPCAD). The usual deadline is May 15 or 30 days after your appraisal notice was mailed, whichever is later. A weekend or legal-holiday deadline moves to the next regular business day. Confirm your district calendar and tax year.
EPCAD allows online appraisal protests. El Paso has one of the highest effective tax rates in Texas, so successful appeals deliver outsized savings relative to home value.
The strongest protests include 3-7 comparable sales from the last 12 months in your immediate neighborhood, adjusted for square footage, age, and condition. El Paso-area assessors typically reduce values when presented with clear, recent comp data.
