How property tax appeals work in Tarrant County
Every Texas homeowner has a right to protest their assessed value under Texas Property Tax Code §41.41. In Tarrant County, protests are handled by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD). The deadline is May 15, 2027, or 30 days after your appraisal notice was mailed, whichever is later.
TAD allows online protests through TAD Connect. Tarrant typically grants value reductions on overassessed homes in informal review. Keep evidence concise and focused on 5-7 close comps.
The strongest protests include 3-7 comparable sales from the last 12 months in your immediate neighborhood, adjusted for square footage, age, and condition. Fort Worth-area assessors typically reduce values when presented with clear, recent comp data.
