What to do before the deadline
Run the free address check, decide whether the proposed value is worth challenging, and prepare evidence before you open the filing flow.
2026 TCAD protest deadline
Do not wait to prepare the evidence.
The standard 2026 filing window has passed. These guides remain available, but new packet checkouts are paused until the next Travis County notice season.
What the packet gives you
The $49 packet gives you the submission PDF, editable Word copy, talking points, and checklist. The goal is to make the upload step faster and clearer.
After you file
TCAD may review the protest informally before a formal appraisal review board hearing. Keep the talking points document and any owner evidence, such as condition photos or repair estimates, ready.
Questions
Do you file the protest for me?+
No. This is a self-file document product. You decide whether to protest and upload the PDF yourself in TCAD's portal.
Do you guarantee TCAD lowers my value?+
No. TCAD and the appraisal review board decide final values. The product is the evidence packet, not a guaranteed tax result.
What if the packet has bad facts or broken files?+
Submit a fix/refund request. We fix or regenerate wrong property facts, unrelated comps, broken files, or inconsistent math first. If we cannot make the packet usable, we refund the $49.
