What the county has on file for your home
This is every field your county tax authority is using to value your property — pulled live from public records. Spot anything wrong? Record-card errors (incorrect square footage, a pool you don't have, the wrong number of bathrooms) are one of the strongest possible grounds for a reduction — sometimes you don't even need comps.
Have a question about your appeal?
Ask anything. Wise knows your property, your county's filing rules, and how property tax appeals work in your state. Wise can't give legal advice — for that we'll point you to a licensed attorney.

Your county appraisal district
Every property tax appeal starts and ends at the county appraisal district (CAD) — the local office that assigned your value, accepts your protest evidence, and schedules your hearing. We've pulled the verified official links for your county below, plus the key dates you'll need to keep in mind.
What you can do here
Verified official links
Links open the official government sites. We never insert affiliate links or third-party redirects. If a county portal moves, the state authority link will always reach the right office.
How we built your comparable set
The Appraisal Review Board weights three factors above all others: location proximity, recency of sale, and square-foot similarity. We pulled your seven strongest comps below — adjusted for these three factors using the same model licensed appraisers use.
- Within 0.5 miles of your home
- Sold in the last 12 months (arm's-length only — no foreclosures)
- Within ±15% square footage of your —
- Same property type (SFR) and built within ±15 years of —
- Excluded distressed sales, intra-family transfers, and incomplete data

Your evidence packet already includes items 1–7. Items 8–13 are optional but proven to increase the reduction granted. Print or take photos with your phone.
Step-by-step filing guide + hearing script
Filing — 4 steps
- File the protest form before your county's deadline. Your form is pre-filled in the evidence packet. Most counties accept online submission via the CAD portal above.
- Receive your hearing notice. 30–60 days after filing, the CAD will email or mail your hearing date. We'll add it to your dashboard automatically.
- Take the informal review first. ~70% of cases settle here without ever reaching the formal ARB. The appraiser will offer a number — see "informal script" below.
- Formal ARB hearing if needed. 20-minute session. Bring your evidence packet and your printed appeal letter. Use the formal script below.

Pro tip: Speak slowly. Make eye contact with each board member. Hand them a printed copy of your evidence packet at the start — don't rely on them having read it.
