FAQ

When is the Hidalgo County property tax protest deadline for 2026?

May 15, 2026, or 30 days after Hidalgo CAD mails your Notice of Appraised Value, whichever is later. Use the mail date printed on the notice and confirm the account deadline on hidalgoad.org.

Where do I file a Hidalgo County protest?

Use File Your Protest on hidalgoad.org, or mail/hand-deliver Form 50-132 to 4405 S Professional Drive, Edinburg, TX 78539. Do not file on third-party look-up sites such as hidalgocad.org, and do not file with Harris CAD in Houston.

Is hidalgocad.org the official appraisal district?

No. The official district site is hidalgoad.org (Chief Appraiser Rolando Garza). Use third-party mirrors only for research, not for filing.

Does Protestly file my Hidalgo County protest for me?

No. Protestly generates a comparable sales evidence packet you can upload to Hidalgo CAD or bring to informal review or the ARB. You remain in control of the protest and any hearing.
