Denton CAD accepts protests online through its website. Getting evidence in front of an appraiser early — rather than waiting for a hearing date — is the practical path to a settlement in Denton's high-volume season. Plan around May 15 unless the notice delivery date gives you more time.

What evidence usually matters in Denton County

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.
When will FightMyAppraisal support Denton County?+
We're expanding beyond Travis County for the 2027 notice season, prioritizing counties by waitlist demand. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when Denton County support opens.
