McLennan County · Bell County · Williamson County · 2026 Protest Season

Your Appraisal Is Too High.We Can Prove It.

Most Central Texas homeowners are overpaying on property taxes — and they don't know it. Parity now covers McLennan County, Bell County, and Williamson County. We analyze your property, build your case, and hand you a hearing-ready packet. You walk in prepared. You ask for the reduction. You keep every dollar you save.

Process

How It Works

01

Enter Your Address

Type your property address and Parity pulls everything on file for your home in seconds. No account required to start.

02

Get Your Parity Value

Parity calculates the number your appraisal should be — and shows you exactly how much you're being overcharged compared to similar homes nearby.

03

Walk In and Win

Download your hearing-ready packet. Everything is organized, pre-filled, and ready to hand across the table. You show up. You make the ask. You leave with a lower bill.

The Appraisal District Has More Information Than You. Until Now.

When you walk into a protest hearing unprepared, the district wins by default. They have the data. They have the process. They count on you not knowing what to ask for — or how to ask for it.

Parity levels that. It pulls the same data the district uses, finds the properties that prove your case, and builds the packet that puts you on equal footing. You don't need a lawyer. You don't need a contingency firm taking half your savings. You need the right numbers and the right documents. That's what Parity delivers.

01

A Target Number That Holds Up

Parity gives you a specific, defensible value to demand — not a guess. You walk in knowing exactly what to ask for and why.

02

Evidence the District Can't Dispute

Every comparable property in your packet was sourced from the county's own records. They can't argue with their own data.

03

A Pre-Written Discovery Letter

Texas law gives you the right to request the district's evidence before your hearing. Parity auto-generates that letter so you can lock them in — or lock them out.

Deliverables

What You Get

Every Parity report includes three things that most homeowners spend a weekend trying to build on their own — and still get wrong.

Your Parity Value

A clear, specific number — the appraised value your home should carry based on what similar properties around you are actually assessed at. Not an estimate. A defensible target you can take into your hearing and stand behind.

Market Alignment Study

A curated set of nearby properties — sourced directly from county records — that support your case. These aren't cherry-picked by you. They come from the district's own data, which means the district can't dismiss them at the table.

Evidence Discovery Letter

Texas law gives you the right to request the district's evidence before your hearing. Most homeowners never use it. Parity generates the letter for you automatically — so you either see their playbook in advance, or they show up with nothing to present.

Results

Real Homeowners. Real Reductions.

McLennan County, Bell County, and Williamson County homeowners who showed up prepared — and left with lower appraisals.

I had no idea I could protest on my own. Parity handed me everything I needed. I walked in, showed the packet, and left with a $28,000 reduction in my appraised value.

R. Castillo

Waco, TX

$28,000 reduction

I've used contingency firms for years and handed over a cut of my savings every time. This year I used Parity. Flat fee, better evidence, same result — except I kept the whole thing.

M. Thompson

Hewitt, TX

Kept 100% of savings

The discovery letter alone was worth it. The district showed up to my hearing without their evidence because they missed the deadline. The panel sided with me in under ten minutes.

D. Hargrove

Woodway, TX

Hearing won in 10 minutes

I'm in Killeen and didn't think anything like this existed for Bell County. Parity had my packet ready in minutes. Walked out of the ARB with a $19,500 reduction.

T. Reyes

Killeen, TX

$19,500 reduction

Georgetown is booming and WCAD was valuing my house like it was in Austin. Parity pulled the comps, built the packet, and I got a $31,000 reduction at my informal hearing.

S. Nguyen

Georgetown, TX

$31,000 reduction

Individual results vary. Outcomes depend on your specific property and hearing panel. No specific result is guaranteed.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this take?
Running the analysis takes about 30 seconds to 3 minutes per property. Reading and signing the packet takes about an hour. The hearing itself is usually 5–15 minutes.
Will the appraisal district retaliate against me for protesting?
No. Texas Tax Code §41.41 expressly grants every homeowner the right to protest. Protests are routine — McLennan County, Bell County, and Williamson County each process thousands every year. Filing a protest does not affect future valuations, exemptions, or any other county service.
What if I lose at my hearing?
Texas law structurally favors the homeowner on equal-and-uniform protests. Under §41.43(b)(3), the burden is on the appraisal district to prove your home isn't appraised above the median — not on you to prove that it is. With Parity's packet, the district has to affirmatively defend their valuation. If you don't get a reduction at the informal stage, you can still proceed to the formal ARB hearing, and beyond that to district court.
Will my data be private?
Property records in Texas are already public. Parity stores only what's needed to generate your report and never sells or shares anything beyond the appraisal district's own published records.
Can I do this without a lawyer?
Yes. Texas Appraisal Review Board hearings are designed for self-represented property owners. The packet Parity generates includes verbatim rebuttals to read aloud if the appraisal district pushes back — no legal training required.
What counties are supported?
McLennan County (MCAD), Bell County (BCAD), and Williamson County (WCAD) are all live now. Additional Texas counties are on the roadmap.
How much does it cost?
A one-time flat fee per protest — see the Pricing section above. Never a contingency. Never a percentage of your savings.
When is my protest deadline?
May 15 of the tax year, OR 30 days after the date your Notice of Appraised Value was mailed, whichever is later. For most McLennan County, Bell County, and Williamson County homeowners in 2026, the deadline is May 15, 2026.
