Bexar County homeowners pay some of the highest effective property tax rates in Texas. TaxAppeal files your formal protest with BCAD — backed by comparable sales data and certified mail — for a flat $89.
Texas gives you the right to protest your appraised value every single year, at no cost to file. Here's why San Antonio homeowners have especially strong grounds.
BCAD appraises over 700,000 properties annually using mass-appraisal methods that apply broad neighborhood trends rather than assessing each home individually — leading to systematic over-valuation for many homeowners.
San Antonio has been one of America's fastest-growing cities for a decade. BCAD's models often lag market corrections, leaving thousands of homeowners assessed above their property's actual current value.
Under Texas Tax Code §41.41, every Bexar County homeowner has the legal right to protest their assessed value every year. You don't need an attorney — just evidence. TaxAppeal builds it, you sign the protest, and we file it.
BCAD handles property valuations for all of Bexar County including San Antonio, Helotes, Leon Valley, Converse, Universal City, Schertz, and surrounding communities.
The 2027 deadline is May 17, 2027 (May 15, 2027 falls on a Saturday, so Tax Code § 1.06 moves it to the next business day), or 30 days after the Bexar Central Appraisal District mails your Notice of Appraised Value — whichever is later. Texas Tax Code § 41.44 sets it from the date on your notice, so check that date: if your notice is dated after mid-April, you have longer than May 17, 2027. File early — BCAD informal hearings fill up fast.
We prepare a protest letter with comparable sales evidence and mail it via USPS Certified Mail with Return Receipt to BCAD — creating irrefutable legal proof of your timely filing.
All Bexar County municipalities: San Antonio, Helotes, Leon Valley, Converse, Universal City, Schertz, Live Oak, Selma, Kirby, and all unincorporated areas.
BCAD schedules an informal hearing where most cases settle. If not, your case goes to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). TaxAppeal notifies you at each stage.
On a $1,400 reduction that's up to $560 taken before it reaches you — every single year.
Pay $89 once and keep every dollar of your $1,400 savings. No annual fees.
Join San Antonio homeowners saving money every year. $89 flat — no hidden fees, no percentage cuts.
TaxAppeal USA is a self-service document-preparation and mail filing service. In every state we serve, including Florida, we are not property tax consultants, agents, or representatives, we do not provide tax or legal advice, and we do not represent customers before any appraisal district, board of equalization, value adjustment board, or review board. Every protest and petition is prepared for the property owner, signed by the owner, and filed in the owner’s name. In Florida we also pay your county’s Value Adjustment Board filing fee on your behalf and mail your petition to the Clerk of the Value Adjustment Board. Your petition is signed by you as the property owner under section 194.011(3), Florida Statutes. TaxAppeal USA does not sign as your representative, does not appear before the Board, and does not present evidence or argument at a hearing.
