Source: the Dallas Central Appraisal District, 2026 protests. Tax figures at a typical 1.5% effective tax rate. Agent or do it yourself? · Methodology
At a typical 1.5% Texas tax rate, the typical win on your own takes about $266 a year off the tax bill, and you keep all of it. The typical agent win takes off about $151, and the agent keeps about $38–$61 of that. Filing is free, online or by mail, and there's no agent contract to renew or cancel each year.
Their house values were above the median of the most similar neighbors, the comparison Texas law allows a protest on, but their owners didn't protest in 2026.
Median change in appraised market value from last year.
Our estimate from 2026 published tax rates and each home's exemptions: 1.5% of market value. (The Dallas Central Appraisal District doesn't publish tax rates with its data, so this uses our Texas data.)
Usually a rental or second home. If it's your own home, a homestead exemption takes $140,000 off its school taxable value and caps yearly increases in taxable value at 10%; you apply with your appraisal district (Form 50-114).
