EPCAD supports online protest filing with document upload. Because El Paso's housing stock includes long-settled neighborhoods with few recent sales, the equal-and-uniform comparison against similar homes on the tax roll is often the strongest available argument. Texas generally uses May 15, or 30 days after the notice of appraised value is delivered, whichever is later.

What evidence usually matters in El Paso County
El Paso Central Appraisal District appraises one of the most stable-priced major markets in Texas — which cuts both ways. When notices jump in a market that historically moves slowly, the increase deserves scrutiny against actual neighborhood sales. The legal framework is statewide: homeowners can argue market value and equal-and-uniform appraisal in the same protest.

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 El Paso County protest deadline?+
Texas Tax Code §41.44 sets the deadline at May 15, or 30 days after EPCAD 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 EPCAD for me?+
No. This is a self-file document product. You file the protest with El Paso Central Appraisal District yourself — the packet includes the evidence documents and a step-by-step filing checklist.
Do you guarantee EPCAD lowers my value?+
No. El Paso Central Appraisal District and the El Paso County appraisal review board decide final values. The product is the evidence packet, not a guaranteed tax result.
