Dallas County Appraisal District 2022 Houses Property Tax Protest Summary

With a total value of $221 billion in residential property in Dallas County, homeowners protested $60 billion worth of homes within the Dallas Central Appraisal District (CAD) in 2022. A full 27% of houses were protested based on Dallas CAD noticed value. Compared to owners of ordinary houses, owners of more costly homes are more inclined to protest. Utility, business, and apartment owners are much more likely to protest. Based on valuation, the owners of 18% of commercial, 5% of multifamily, and 100% of utilities appealed. For one reason only—it works—a sizable percentage of utility, business, and multifamily owners routinely file an appeal each year.

The answer is straightforward: In 2022, owners who filed a property tax appeal saved money on property taxes in around 45 to 53 percent of cases. The appraisal district puts up a new number most years, and it will remain the same unless you appeal. You can effectively fight it on your own, and you will succeed if you do it every year. In my 39 years of experience, I have found that few owners would file an annual appeal on their own. They have other goals, and minimizing the stress of property taxes can be challenging. If you are not protesting on your own, let us handle it for you. There aren't any up-front expenses, no fixed costs, and you never make a payment until your property taxes are lowered that year.
