Dallas County Appraisal District Statistics

Dallas County appraisal records organize the total number of property tax protests using supporting values, with an emphasis on owner appeal activity and the high volume of protests in a large, dynamic tax base with substantial commercial and residential properties. In 2024, the number of property tax protests was 206,170. From2016 to 2024, the number of protests increased from 117,271 to 206,170, up by 88,899, or a 75.8% increase. The highest amount was in 2024 with 206,170, while the lowest was in 2016 with 117,271. Related metrics include $308.0 billion in protested property value, 53,652 informal property tax protests and $27.6 billion in value reductions resulting from Appraisal Review Board (ARB) hearings. These metrics provide property owners with a county-level reference point without replacing property-specific evidence. Protest volume shows how often property owners challenged noticed values over the years, while protested value and reduction figures show whether the appeal process was successful in achieving a reduction. This category is strongest when paired with account-specific documents, property photos, sales data, income information, or rendition details. Together, these records help compare the noticed value with comparable sales, equity evidence, exemptions, and the property’s condition before deciding whether to file a protest.
