The Argument That Wins in McLennan County

Equal and Uniform Appraisal

Under Texas Tax Code §41.43, you do not have to prove your home is worth less than MCAD's Market Value to win a protest. You only have to prove that MCAD is valuing your home higher than comparable properties in Waco, Woodway, Hewitt, or your neighborhood. If your neighbors are being assessed lower per square foot, your value must come down to match.

Parity builds this argument automatically using MCAD's own data. The analysis is based on the same statutory adjustment grid that the ARB uses to evaluate protests.
