Williamson County property tax protest — pay nothing unless we win.

Williamson County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, and the Williamson Central Appraisal District (WCAD) has raised values to match. If your notice of appraised value is higher than your property's real market value, you can protest — and we handle every step on your behalf.

How a WCAD protest works

  1. Your notice arrives. WCAD mails notices of appraised value in the spring. Each notice carries a Quick Ref ID (an "R" number) and an online protest passcode for filing on WCAD.org.
  2. We file your protest. Once you sign the Appointment of Agent form, we file with WCAD before the deadline — May 15, or 30 days after your notice was delivered, whichever is later. Online protests may qualify for earlier hearing dates.
  3. Settlement or hearing notice. Many protests settle with a WCAD appraiser. If not, the Appraisal Review Board sends notice at least 15 days before your hearing. WCAD hearings typically begin in April and wrap up by July.
  4. ARB hearing if needed. We present your case before the Williamson County Appraisal Review Board with comparable sales, unequal-appraisal analysis and documented condition issues.
Our fee: a flat 33% of the tax savings we win — your value reduction times your tax rate — and nothing at all if we don't lower your taxes. Most competitors charge 40–50%.

Local knowledge that wins in Williamson County

Recently bought your property? WCAD offers an Express Inquiry option where a staff member reviews your settlement statement — sometimes the fastest path to a corrected value. We'll tell you when that beats a full protest.

Williamson County protest questions

When is the Williamson County property tax protest deadline?

The deadline to protest with the Williamson Central Appraisal District is May 15, or 30 days after WCAD delivered your notice of appraised value, whichever is later. If the date falls on a weekend or holiday, it moves to the next business day.

How do I file a protest with WCAD online?

Go to WCAD.org and use the Quick Ref ID and Online Protest Passcode printed on your notice of appraised value. Online protests may qualify for earlier hearing scheduling, and WCAD confirms online-scheduled hearings by email.

What is the WCAD Express Inquiry?

If you recently bought your property, WCAD's Express Inquiry lets you submit your settlement statement for staff review instead of filing a full protest. If it doesn't resolve your value, you still need to file a protest by the deadline to keep your rights.
