How an appeal works in Dallas County
- Find your notice of appraised value from Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD) and note the protest deadline printed on it.
- Look at your online record and compare it with similar homes in your neighborhood.
- Gather evidence: homes similar to yours that are appraised lower, and anything about your home the county records do not show.
- File your own protest with the appraisal district by the deadline. See the DCAD website for forms and hearing rules.
- Keep copies of everything you submit and note your hearing date.
