Dallas County unequal appraisal example for Lakewood and Oak Cliff: equity $/sq ft math, Form 50-132 grounds, and DCAD informal/ARB tips.

FAQ

What is an unequal appraisal protest in Dallas County?

It argues that similar Dallas Central Appraisal District accounts are assessed at a lower rate than yours. You present matched properties and ask DCAD or the ARB to equalize your value to the cohort median—often using assessed dollars per square foot.

Can I protest both market value and unequal appraisal with DCAD?

Yes. On Form 50-132 you can select both grounds when evidence supports them. That keeps options open at informal review and the Appraisal Review Board.

When is the Dallas County protest deadline for 2026?

May 15, 2026, or 30 days after your Notice of Appraised Value was mailed by DCAD, whichever is later. Use the mail date printed on the notice.

Does Protestly file my Dallas County protest for me?

No. Protestly generates a comparable sales and equity-style evidence packet you attach to your own DCAD filing. You remain in control of the protest and any hearing.
