How property tax appeals work in McLennan County
Every Texas homeowner has a right to protest their assessed value under Texas Property Tax Code §41.41. In McLennan County, protests are handled by the McLennan County Appraisal District (McLennan CAD). The deadline is May 15, 2027, or 30 days after your appraisal notice was mailed, whichever is later.
McLennan CAD accepts both paper and online protests. Waco's Magnolia/Chip-and-Joanna effect has driven values up sharply, and many older homes are still being reassessed catching up.
The strongest protests include 3-7 comparable sales from the last 12 months in your immediate neighborhood, adjusted for square footage, age, and condition. Waco-area assessors typically reduce values when presented with clear, recent comp data.
McLennan 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 McLennan CAD uses. You can check your own address free in 30 seconds, or read our full methodology first.
