What evidence usually matters in Denton County

Denton County spans college-town, lake-area, and north-Dallas suburban markets that need separate comp pools. 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
  • Denton CAD 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 Denton 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 Denton CAD'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 Denton County protest deadline?+

Texas Tax Code §41.44 sets the deadline at May 15, or 30 days after Denton CAD 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 Denton CAD for me?+

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

Do you guarantee Denton CAD lowers my value?+

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