Bexar County property tax protest

Protest your Bexar County appraisal with real evidence.

Bexar County support opens for the 2027 notice season. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when BCAD appraisal notices become actionable.

How to file with BCAD

BCAD offers an online services portal for filing protests and submitting evidence. Homeowners can pursue both a market-value argument and an equal-and-uniform argument in the same protest — the packet builds both. The statewide May 15 rule applies unless the notice creates a later 30-day deadline.

  • File with Bexar Appraisal District (BCAD)
  • Portal/service: BCAD online services
  • Filing methods: BCAD online services, Mail or in-person filing
  • BCAD's online services provide a path for protest filing and supporting documents.
  • Bexar County evidence should be concise enough for informal review and strong enough for ARB backup.

What evidence usually matters in Bexar County

San Antonio's historic districts, infill areas, and new subdivisions need different comp logic. The legal framework is statewide: homeowners can argue market value and equal-and-uniform appraisal in the same protest.

  • Recent comparable sales close to the valuation date
  • BCAD equity records for similar nearby properties
  • Property-specific issues such as condition, flood risk, lot differences, remodel level, or subdivision phase
  • Market value and equal-and-uniform arguments can be combined
  • A clear owner opinion of value with source-backed math

What the FightMyAppraisal packet will include

When Bexar County support opens, the packet will be built per property from public records and market data, then delivered as filing-ready documents for $49 flat.

  • Comparable sales analysis with adjustments and weighting
  • Equal-and-uniform grid built from BCAD's own records where available
  • Market indicators with sources and why each one matters
  • Owner opinion of value with the supporting math
  • Submission PDF, editable Word copy, hearing talking points, and a filing checklist

Why flat fee instead of a percentage

Contingency protest firms typically charge 25–50% of your first-year savings, every year you use them. A $49 flat-fee packet means a homeowner who saves $1,000 keeps $1,000 minus $49 — not $500 to $750. The trade: you file it yourself, with the checklist walking you through each step.

Questions

When is the Bexar County protest deadline?+

Texas Tax Code §41.44 sets the deadline at May 15, or 30 days after BCAD delivers your notice of appraised value, whichever is later. If you miss it, you generally wait until next year — which is why we open the waitlist early.

Do you file the protest with BCAD for me?+

No. This is a self-file document product. You file the protest with Bexar Appraisal District yourself — the packet includes the evidence documents and a step-by-step filing checklist.

Do you guarantee BCAD lowers my value?+

No. Bexar Appraisal District and the Bexar County appraisal review board decide final values. The product is the evidence packet, not a guaranteed tax result.
