Delta County property tax protest.
Delta County is small and rural, but an over assessed home or piece of land costs you just the same. We protest values across the county and handle the filing and the Delta CAD hearing for you. You pay only if we bring your value down.
Who sets your Delta County value.
Your property is appraised by the Delta County Appraisal District, or Delta CAD, based in Cooper. Each spring the district mails a Notice of Appraised Value that sets the number your tax bill is built on. If that number is too high, the time to challenge it is short.
A protest is filed with Delta CAD and, if it is not resolved informally, heard by the Delta County Appraisal Review Board. We handle both for you. You do not deal with the district and you do not attend the hearing.
One thing worth knowing: Delta CAD appraises your property, but it does not collect the tax. That is the county tax office, which sends the bill later in the year based on the value the district set.
District details can change. Confirm current contact information and deadlines with Delta CAD directly before you rely on them.
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| January 1 | Value is set as of this date for the year |
| April | Delta CAD mails Notices of Appraised Value |
| April 30 | General deadline to file exemptions |
| May 15 | Protest deadline, or 30 days after your notice, whichever is later |
| Spring to fall | Protest season, we work your case to a result |
| January 31 | Property tax bill due |
Dates shift slightly year to year and if a deadline lands on a weekend or holiday. Confirm your exact date on your notice or with Delta CAD.
The deadline is the part you can't get back.
The Delta County protest deadline is May 15, or 30 days after the district delivers your notice, whichever is later. Miss it, and your value for the year is generally locked in, along with the bill that follows in January.
Send us your notice as soon as it arrives in April. The earlier we have it, the more room we have to do the job right instead of racing the clock.
We take the Delta County protest off your plate
We file it
Send us your notice and we file the protest with Delta CAD before the deadline. You sign one form and that is the last thing we need.
We argue it
We take on the district and represent you all the way through the review board. You do not attend anything.
You save
If your value comes down, our fee is one third of the saving. If it does not, you owe nothing. There is no minimum fee.

Delta County property tax questions
Will protesting raise my appraisal?
No. Under Texas Tax Code §41.47(b), the review board can't set your value higher than the amount already on your notice as a result of your protest. It comes down, or it stays the same.
When is the Delta deadline?
May 15, or 30 days after Delta CAD delivers your notice, whichever is later. Notices typically go out in April.
What does it cost?
One third of what we save you. No minimum fee, no filing fee, no per parcel charge. If we don't win a reduction, you pay nothing.
Do I have to go to the hearing?
No. We represent you at Delta CAD and before the review board, so you don't need to take time off or appear.
