How property tax appeals work in Nueces County

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

Nueces CAD handles a high volume of coastal property protests. Port Aransas hurricane-rebuilt homes often have inconsistent valuations — strong appeal opportunities.

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