MCAD accepts online protests with document upload. An evidence packet that prices your specific section — not the county-wide trend — is what moves an informal review. Texas generally uses May 15, or 30 days after the notice of appraised value is delivered, whichever is later.

What evidence usually matters in Montgomery County
Montgomery Central Appraisal District covers The Woodlands, Conroe, and the fast-growing corridor north of Houston. Wooded lots, golf-course sections, and new subdivisions sit side by side here, and lot-quality differences the mass model misses are a recurring source of over-appraisal. 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 Montgomery County protest deadline?+
Texas Tax Code §41.44 sets the deadline at May 15, or 30 days after MCAD 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 MCAD for me?+
No. This is a self-file document product. You file the protest with Montgomery Central Appraisal District yourself — the packet includes the evidence documents and a step-by-step filing checklist.
Do you guarantee MCAD lowers my value?+
No. Montgomery Central Appraisal District and the Montgomery County appraisal review board decide final values. The product is the evidence packet, not a guaranteed tax result.
