A free tool for Denton County property owners. Enter your Property ID or a street address to see how your 2026 appraised value compares to the data DCAD itself publishes — your neighbors, your comp set, and what last year's appeal winners are seeing this year.
For each property in Denton County, it generates a one-page protest-analysis report drawing on DCAD's own bulk public data:
After learning that the county proposed to increase the assessed value of our property by more than 22%, I decided to try and figure out why, and what options we might have.
I built this tool for myself first, but when I realized every finding I'd produced was deterministic statistics on public data, I decided to generalize the tooling and share it with you for your use. The data I use here is made fully accessible by DCAD on their public website. I simply downloaded the data to do the analysis and am sharing it here for your use.
You should validate whatever information you find here yourself. I am not a lawyer, and what you find here is not legal advice. It is strictly data analysis.
I wish you well!
This tool is not legal advice and is not affiliated with the Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD), the Denton County Appraisal Review Board, or any taxing entity. Data shown here is derived from DCAD's bulk public data exports as of 2026-04-28 (2026 preliminary) and 2025-07-28 (2025 certified); values may have been updated by CAD since these dates.
The statistical analysis is provided as informational input to your own protest decision-making. Property tax protest is a legal process; for individual cases, consult a licensed Texas property tax consultant or attorney.
The 2026 protest deadline is May 15, 2026 (or 30 days after your appraisal notice was mailed, whichever is later). File via DCAD's online portal or by mail before that date or you forfeit your right to protest for this tax year.
