How property tax appeals work in Hidalgo County
Every Texas homeowner has a right to protest their assessed value under Texas Property Tax Code §41.41. In Hidalgo County, protests are handled by the Hidalgo County Appraisal District (Hidalgo CAD). The deadline is May 15, 2027, or 30 days after your appraisal notice was mailed, whichever is later.
Hidalgo CAD handles bilingual filings. RGV new construction is appraised aggressively, and homeowners in older neighborhoods often see disproportionate increases.
The strongest protests include 3-7 comparable sales from the last 12 months in your immediate neighborhood, adjusted for square footage, age, and condition. McAllen / Edinburg-area assessors typically reduce values when presented with clear, recent comp data.
Hidalgo 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 Hidalgo CAD uses. You can check your own address free in 30 seconds, or read our full methodology first.
