Ballard Property Tax Protest

Tarrant homeowners: your 2026 value is likely frozen at 2024 valuations. Your tax bill isn't.

The Tarrant Appraisal District kept residential values flat for 2025 and 2026, mailing most homeowners a postcard instead of a full Notice of Appraised Value. But tax rates are still set yearly by your city, county, and school district - and the DFW market has cooled nearly 3% since 2024. Many "frozen" values now sit above current market.

You can still protest. The May 15 deadline applies, postcard or not. We handle filing, case-building, and the hearing on a 1% contingency. No reduction, no fee.

Tarrant County Reappraisal Plan: 2026 Freeze & Protests TAD's 2026 reappraisal plan freezes Tarrant County residential values at 2024 levels. See what the freeze means for your taxes and why protesting still pays.

Fort Worth and Tarrant County homeowners - your appraisal notice is coming. Here's your cheat sheet:

Tarrant County has been growing fast, and appraisal values have followed. But "the market went up" doesn't mean YOUR home is worth what TAD says.

What works in Tarrant County:
-File online through TAD early (the system gets slow near the deadline)
- Don't skip the informal review - most reductions happen there
- Bring comparable sales AND check for unequal appraisals in your subdivision

Deadline: May 15 or 30 days after your notice.

We represent homeowners across Tarrant County. No savings, no fee.

Tarrant County Property Tax Protest 2026 File your Tarrant County property tax protest by May 15, 2026. Complete guide to TAD online filing, evidence requirements, informal reviews, and ARB hearings.

Just opened your appraisal notice and the number is higher than expected? Don't panic. Here's what to do in the next 30 minutes:

Step 1: Compare to last year. How much did your value jump?

Step 2: Look up what similar homes near you actually sold for. If those prices are lower than your appraised value - that's your case.

Step 3: Check that your homestead exemption is active. If you bought your home recently and haven't filed, you're missing up to $100,000 off your taxable value. Deadline: April 30.

Step 4: File your protest. You have until May 15 (or 30 days after your notice). Filing preserves your rights - you can always withdraw later.

The worst thing you can do? Nothing. Even if you're not sure you have a case, file anyway. It costs nothing and you lose nothing by trying.
