Appraisals 2026.

How does the 2026 valuation distribute across the county's single-family residential parcels? This page summarizes the §41.43(b)(3) median-of-comps test homeowners can use to protest, county-wide. Multi-family properties (duplexes, condos, apartments) and mobile homes are not included — they're appraised under a different methodology this tool doesn't model.

How many homes have a §41.43(b)(3) case?

Single-family homes currently appraised more than 2% above the comp median of their 5 closest matched neighbors — on the per-square-foot or the raw-dollar measure, whichever is stronger — the legal threshold for a §41.43(b)(3) protest. That's of the county's matched parcels, a combined gap of if every one of them protested and won under this test alone.

This count is a feature of the data distribution, not evidence of a county-wide error. Any large dataset has homes above and below the median, and the §41.43(b)(3) statute is written to use that fact — it lets a homeowner whose appraisal sits above the median of their comps protest down toward it. Our test also doesn't adjust for lot size, pools, detached structures, condition, view, or other inputs the appraisal district's full mass-appraisal model includes; a parcel flagged here may still be appraised correctly once those are weighed in. (The per-square-foot and raw-dollar medians use the appraisal district's own published values.) The scope above is single-family residential only; multi-family parcels and mobile homes use a different appraisal methodology this tool doesn't model. Use the map to check your specific home.

Distribution of appraisal vs. comp median

Every parcel with matched comps, binned by how its 2026 appraisal compares to the stronger of the per-square-foot and raw-dollar median of its 5 closest neighbors. Bar colors match the map. Dashed vertical lines mark the bucket cutoffs (−5%, +2%, +7%); the blue dotted line marks the city-wide median.

Where do cases cluster?

The comp-median test sorts every home into one of five buckets — by the stronger of the per-square-foot and raw-dollar readings. Most cluster near the median; roughly 1 in 4 sits more than 7% above it.

By the §41.43(b)(3) median-of-comps test

By neighborhood

Each row is an appraisal-district neighborhood code (the CAD's internal grouping of similar homes); the label names the most common street in that group. Case rate is the share of homes in the Strong-case (red) or Marginal-case (yellow) buckets — more than 2% over the comp median on at least one measure. Neighborhoods with fewer than 10 matched parcels are omitted.
