Plano homes are often valued like their remodeled neighbors.
Much of Plano was built in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, and many of those homes have been fully remodeled while others have not. When the remodeled homes sell, Collin CAD's models use those sales to value the whole street. An original-condition house can end up valued as if it had a new kitchen, new baths and a new roof.
West Plano and the Legacy area add another layer. Higher-end homes are harder to value from a small number of sales, so a few strong sales can move an entire neighborhood's values more than the market really did.
We pull the sales Collin CAD relied on, adjust for condition, size and location, and compare your value against similar homes under the unequal appraisal rules in 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 Plano 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 Plano homes?
The Collin Central Appraisal District (Collin CAD) values most of Plano. The small part of the city in Denton County is valued by the Denton Central Appraisal District.
My home has a homestead exemption. Is a protest still worth it?
Often, yes. The homestead cap limits how much your taxable value can rise each year, but the market value keeps climbing underneath it. Lowering the market value protects you in future years, and a lower value can cut your current taxable value too.
Do I have to go to the hearing?
No. As your agent we file, meet with Collin CAD at the informal review, and represent you at the Appraisal Review Board if it gets that far.
