We hold Jefferson County's certified 2026 appraisal roll. Every figure below is counted directly from it — 74,565 single-family homes, the district's own numbers. Nothing here is estimated or averaged in from another county.
32% of Jefferson County homes are held below market by a cap — a high share, and the single most common reason a Jefferson County protest wins on paper and saves nothing. Market value has to fall past the capped value before a dollar reaches the bill. Texas caps how fast a homestead's taxable value can rise — 10% a year under Tax Code § 23.23, and 20% on most non-homestead property under § 23.231. We check where your property sits against that cap before you pay us, and we tell you when the answer is that a protest would not move your bill.
This is the question an equal-and-uniform protest turns on. Texas Tax Code § 41.43(b)(3) does not ask whether your home is worth what the district says — it asks whether your home is appraised equally with comparable properties. So what matters is how much the district's own values disagree with each other.
Across 1,659 Jefferson County neighbourhoods, the typical home's appraised value per square foot sits 12.8% away from the median for its own neighbourhood. That is a middling spread, and it is the range where equal-and-uniform protests do most of their work — enough variation that some homes sit well above their neighbours, on a roll consistent enough that the comparison is hard to argue with.
The median Jefferson County home was built in 1968. Older housing stock is where mass appraisal struggles most: renovations, additions, deferred maintenance and condition differences accumulate over decades, and a model working from square footage and year built cannot see any of them. Two houses on one street can be genuinely unalike while the roll treats them as twins.
One more feature of this roll shapes every Jefferson County protest: the district divides 74,565 homes into 4,780 separate neighbourhood codes — about 16 homes each. That is unusually fine-grained. It means the properties the district itself considers comparable to yours are genuinely close by and genuinely similar, which makes the comparison persuasive — but it also means there may only be a handful of them, so which ones are selected matters a great deal.
Measured over every state-class A1 home with recorded living area, in neighbourhoods of at least 10 homes, using the appraised values on the district's certified 2026 roll. Texas does not disclose sale prices, so this compares the district's values to each other rather than to the market — which is what § 41.43(b)(3) compares too.
