McKinney mixes historic homes and new subdivisions. Models struggle with both.
McKinney has a historic downtown with homes over a hundred years old, established neighborhoods from the 1990s and 2000s, and large new subdivisions on the north and west sides. Mass appraisal models handle each of these differently, and they miss a lot: the condition of an older home, the upgrades in a newer one, and the lot differences inside a master-planned community.
When new homes sell high, nearby resale homes are often valued as if they carried the same upgrades. Older homes that need work get valued like the restored ones down the street.
We pull the sales Collin CAD used, adjust for age, condition and lot, and compare your value against similar homes under Texas Tax Code 41.43. Then we negotiate with the district and, if needed, take the case to the Appraisal Review Board.

Common questions
What is the McKinney property tax protest deadline in 2027?
May 15, 2027 is a Saturday, so the deadline moves to Monday, May 17, 2027, or 30 days after your notice was delivered if that is later. Your Notice of Appraised Value shows the date that applies to you.
Which appraisal district values McKinney homes?
The Collin Central Appraisal District (Collin CAD).
Can you protest a historic home?
Yes. Older homes are some of the hardest for appraisal models to value, because condition, layout and updates vary so much. We document those differences and use them in the case.
Do I have to go to the hearing?
No. We file, meet with Collin CAD at the informal review, and represent you at the Appraisal Review Board if needed.
