How property tax appeals work in Montgomery County

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

MCAD allows online and mail-in protests. The Woodlands' master-planned community pricing varies widely by village — bring comps from the same village/section.

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