Is the appraisal district valuing your home higher than similar homes nearby?

What this is

A free map of houses in the Texas counties we cover. Each pin compares your home to 5 similar homes nearby, using the appraisal district’s own values. Tap a pin to open a report with those 5 homes and one number you could ask for when protest season is open.

One question: is my home valued higher than similar homes nearby?

What this isn’t

• It’s not legal advice. If your situation is unusual, talk to a property tax lawyer or a CPA.
• It’s not a guarantee. A cut is possible, not promised.
• It’s not the appraisal district, and not a protest company. We don’t file for you.
• The report is a check, not your filed paperwork. When season opens, you file on your appraisal district’s website.

How we pick similar homes

We look for 5 nearby houses that are about the same size, about the same age, and in the same neighborhood. Then we compare your appraised value to the middle of those 5 — their values, not sale prices.

We check it two ways (by size, and by the total dollar amount) and use the stronger reading for the pin color.

If the whole street is valued low, you will look low too. This is a neighbor check, not a market-value appraisal.

Where the numbers come from

The map uses each county’s public appraisal files and parcel maps. We read them as published. Harris County’s files, for example, come from hcad.org/pdata. Street and satellite tiles are from Esri.

Values update when a county publishes a new certified roll, usually mid-year. The full county list is on the Counties page.

Privacy

No accounts. We never ask for your name, email, or parcel.

• Cloudflare Web Analytics — counts visitors. Country only. No cookie.
• Google Analytics — a cookie so we can tell a return visit. City-level location, browser, and which page you opened. Not your search history, and not who you are.

Opening the map may frame your region from your IP. That’s region-level only. The “locate me” button is the only thing that uses your precise location, and only if you tap it.

Owner names, addresses, and values on the map are already public at your appraisal district. We show the same records on a map.
