reduced from this portfolio's appraisal notices in recent years.

A note on Tarrant County. Starting in 2024, Tarrant Appraisal District froze residential values, starting with the 2024 final values being identical to the 2025 notices. So, every reduction starts from where the last one ended. The savings compound year over year, and each year there is less left on the notice to take because a reduction was received in the previous year's protest. A Tarrant result that looks small on its own usually sits on top of 2 years of earlier reductions with no increase in the notice value.

Year by Year

Every year we hold for the portfolio, all counties together. The final value is after litigation where a case went to district court. District-court appeals for 2026 are still pending, so the 2026 figures are the protest results alone.
