The Dallas County Appraisal Review Board (ARB) has received over 250,000 protests to date for 2026. Due to the volume of protests not all accounts have been scheduled for an ARB Hearing yet. ARB Hearings will likely continue through September 2026.

    Once an account is scheduled for an ARB hearing, a Hearing Notice will be mailed to the property owner at least 15 days in advance of the scheduled hearing date. The hearing date and time will also be updated on Dallas CAD’s (DCAD) website at the account level.

    At any time prior to your ARB hearing, you can contact the DCAD to conduct an Informal Review of your timely filed 2026 protest with an appraiser. If you are able to resolve your protest informally with an appraiser then there will be no need for a formal ARB Hearing.

    If you have additional information that you would like to submit in support of your protest, then please email your documentation to arbdocs@dcad.org as soon as possible and at least one business day prior to your scheduled ARB hearing date.
