The TAD Freeze: A Unique Opportunity for 2026 Protests
Fort Worth's housing market softened in 2025 — the average Tarrant County home value dropped from $371,000 (2024) to $358,000 (2025 TAD data). But TAD's response was to hold most 2026 residential values flat rather than lower them. The result: a growing gap between what TAD says your home is worth and what the market actually supports.
The Fort Worth Report estimates that about 200,000 homeowners in Tarrant County may be overtaxed due to TAD's two-year reappraisal cycle, which freezes values at 2024 levels for many properties. This creates an unusually strong protest case in 2026 — the evidence gap between assessed value and current market value is wider than usual.
TAD's own data shows 87% of protests in 2025 resulted in lowered values without a formal hearing. The informal hearing process handles most cases quickly and successfully.
