Preston Hollow Property Tax Protest

About Preston Hollow

Preston Hollow runs along the Dallas North Tollway between Royal Lane and the LBJ corridor. Lot sizes vary dramatically — from quarter-acre teardowns to two-acre estates — and DCAD's mass appraisal often levels assessments across sub-neighborhoods that look nothing alike on the ground. A 2% over-assessment on a $3M Preston Hollow home is a $1,500+ annual overpayment.

If your Preston Hollow home sits on a smaller lot, hasn't been substantially renovated, or backs up to a busy thoroughfare, you may have grounds for a strong protest.

The May 15 deadline

Texas property owners have until May 15 to file a protest with DCAD (or 30 days from the notice date, whichever is later). After that, you generally can't challenge that year's value. Verify your specific deadline at dallascad.org or on your DCAD appraisal notice.

How it works

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