Fannin County, Texas

Fannin County property tax protest.

Fannin County runs from Bonham across the countryside toward the Red River, and rural land and homes get over assessed like anywhere else. We protest values across the county and handle the filing and the Fannin CAD hearing for you. You pay only if we bring your value down.

The basics

Who sets your Fannin County value.

Your property is appraised by the Fannin County Appraisal District, or Fannin CAD, based in Bonham. 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 Fannin CAD and, if it is not resolved informally, heard by the Fannin 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 specific to Fannin County: the appraisal district both sets your value and collects the tax. You pay your property tax bill to Fannin CAD, not a separate county tax office. A protest is about the value the district sets.

Timing

The deadline is the part you can't get back.

The Fannin 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.

Questions

Fannin 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 Fannin deadline?

May 15, or 30 days after Fannin 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 Fannin CAD and before the review board, so you don't need to take time off or appear.
