Cameron County Central Appraisal District – 2022

The Cameron County Appraisal Review Board (ARB) hears tax protests in Cameron County. Although they accept payments from Cameron Appraisal District (CAD), they position themselves as independent entities. About $1 million was saved on property taxes in 2022 as a result of ARB tax protest hearings, out of a total of almost $7 million in savings from informal and ARB hearings. The Cameron County ARB held 2,635 ARB hearings in 2022.

Large owners have a tax consultant. Do You?

Based on a $64 million value drop at the ARB, protests against the ARB result in significant savings for Cameron County, estimated to be $1 million in 2022. In total, 46% of ARB protests resulted in the owner saving money on taxes. Homeowners prevailed in 57% of ARB protests, compared to 56% for commercial and Business Personal Property (BPP) owners.

Large owners know how to manipulate the system to lower their property taxes. In 2022, owners appealed 31% of the multifamily total value and 34% of the commercial and BPP total value. 9% of the home's value, on the other hand, is appealed each year, mostly for accounts that are worth more than average. It is not necessary to possess a sizable property in order to have a property tax consultant regularly represent you.
