Basic online filing flow
Use the owner information from your Notice of Appraised Value, select the property, file the protest, choose the applicable protest reasons, enter your owner opinion of value, upload evidence, and save the confirmation.
How to file with TCAD
File the protest yourself. Bring a cleaner evidence packet.
The standard 2026 filing window has passed. These guides remain available, but new packet checkouts are paused until the next Travis County notice season.
Where the packet fits
After the free address check, the $49 packet gives you the submission PDF, editable Word copy, hearing talking points, and checklist. You upload the PDF as supporting evidence.
Common filing mistakes to avoid
Do not wait until the last minute, do not upload unsupported screenshots without explaining the value math, and do not forget to save TCAD's confirmation number.
Questions
Can I file without buying anything?+
Yes. TCAD's protest process is available to homeowners. The packet is for people who want help assembling the evidence document.
Do you file the protest for me?+
No. This is a self-file document product. You decide whether to protest and upload the PDF yourself in TCAD's portal.
Do you guarantee TCAD lowers my value?+
No. TCAD and the appraisal review board decide final values. The product is the evidence packet, not a guaranteed tax result.
What if the packet has bad facts or broken files?+
Submit a fix/refund request. We fix or regenerate wrong property facts, unrelated comps, broken files, or inconsistent math first. If we cannot make the packet usable, we refund the $49.
