Kessler Park Property Tax Protest

About Kessler Park

Kessler Park sits in north Oak Cliff, just south of the Trinity River. The neighborhood's hillside lots and 1920s–1940s historic homes mean square-footage adjustments and topography matter enormously to fair value — and DCAD's broad-strokes assessment often levels values across very differently-situated homes.

If your Kessler Park home has a steep lot, an older foundation, or original historic finishes that haven't been modernized, you may be carrying more assessed value than recent comparable sales support.

The May 15 deadline

Texas property owners have until May 15 (or 30 days from the notice date, whichever is later) to file a protest with DCAD. Once the deadline passes, this year's assessment is generally final. Verify your specific deadline at dallascad.org or on your DCAD appraisal notice.

How it works

1. Enter your Kessler Park address — we pull your DCAD assessment. 2. We compare it to recent sales of similar nearby Kessler Park homes. 3. You get a free reminder before the May 15 deadline so you can file your protest on time.
