Checks on big value jumps after appeals
After a final appeal cuts your property's value, the county must watch for big jumps. For commercial cuts before January 1, 2026, they monitor the next two tax years. For cuts on or after January 1, 2026 to residential property, commercial property, and residential-use mobile homes, they monitor five years. In any covered year, if the mass appraisal is more than 5% above last year (not from new construction, a change in use, or a different class), the appraiser must adjust the value using the prior appeal information or order a certified fee simple appraisal. The county can also change this year's certified rolls to carry over last year's final appeal decision, but not after October 31.
Earlier notices and a free appeals guide
County appraisers must send a valuation notice each year—by March 1 for real property and by May 1 for personal property. The notice shows last year's and this year's appraised and assessed values, your parcel ID, and how to appeal. You can get it by email only if you agree, and some counties may list sales used to set your value. The state publishes a simple, free appeals guide, and counties must give you a copy if you ask.
Stricter rules before raising property values
The county cannot raise a real property's value unless it reviews the latest physical inspection record and has documents that follow state rules. You can see those inspection and support records. The county also cannot raise your value just for normal repair, replacement, or maintenance.
