TAD announced that 2026 notices were mailed and says the protest deadline is May 15, 2026, or 30 days after the notice was delivered, with the notice showing the specific deadline date.
What TAD announced
TAD announced that it mailed 2026 Notices of Appraised Value to Tarrant County property owners and highlighted a new notice format for 2026.
The announcement says property owners who believe the appraisal is incorrect have a right to protest and should use the deadline printed on the property value notice.
- Review the notice value and the protest deadline date.
- Use the dashboard or the stated filing options before the deadline.
- Save the notice, owner identifiers, filed protest confirmation, and any value negotiation records.
How it relates to a protest
TAD's protest procedures explain that the ARB can hear disputes about appraised market value, unequal appraisal, exemptions, property ownership, and other actions that apply to a property owner.
Before the hearing, the owner and appraisal district exchange evidence. That makes early preparation important: comparable sales, property-record corrections, condition documents, and a clear requested value are more useful than a general complaint that taxes are high.
