Common Questions

What homeowners ask first.

What is an ARB hearing?

ARB stands for Appraisal Review Board. It’s a panel of local citizens — not EPCAD employees — who hear your case. You present your evidence, they vote. Most cases settle before the hearing.

Is this legit?

Yes. ValuCheck uses only official EPCAD public records and Texas Tax Code §41.43. Everything in your report is publicly verifiable.

How close are the comparable properties to my home?

ValuCheck prioritizes comps within 0.5 miles of your property. Distance is printed on every comp in your report so the ARB panel can see exactly how close each one is.

Can EPCAD raise my value if I protest?

No. Under Texas Tax Code §41.43, the ARB cannot increase your value during a protest. The worst outcome is your value stays the same.

What if I lose at the ARB hearing?

You can appeal to binding arbitration (properties under $5M) or district court within 60 days of the ARB order.

Do I need a lawyer?

Not for the ARB hearing. Texas law allows any property owner to represent themselves. ValuCheck gives you everything you need.

When is the deadline?

May 15, 2026 — or 30 days from your notice date, whichever is later. File Form 50-132 at epcad.org.

What data does ValuCheck use?

Official EPCAD public appraisal records, deed data, and current Redfin active listings. All public domain, updated regularly.
