Uvalde County sits at the edge of the Edwards Plateau in South Texas, where the Hill Country meets the brush country. The county seat of Uvalde anchors a region of ranching, agriculture, hunting leases, and ecotourism. Property values have been affected by both rural land demand and the legacy of the 2022 tragedy at Robb Elementary — a community still healing while facing rising tax bills.
3,018 ARB protests were filed in Uvalde County in 2024; 64% of protests resolved through the informal process received a value reduction, and 56% of written ARB determinations lowered the appraised value (Texas Comptroller, 2024 Appraisal District Operations Survey). Appraisal data in rural South Texas counties can be inconsistent — comparable sales data and land condition evidence carry real weight at an ARB hearing. File. Show up. Make the case.

The Appraisal Review Board is independent of the CAD. Present your evidence clearly and concisely. Most hearings run 15–30 minutes.

“No person’s particular services shall be demanded, nor property taken or applied to public use, unless by the consent of himself or his representative, without just compensation being made therefor.”
— Section 13, Declaration of Rights, Republic of Texas, 1836Uvalde County has endured more than most communities in recent years. Families here deserve every protection the law provides — including the right to protest an inflated appraisal. The founders’ principle is simple: your property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation. A wrong appraisal denies you that. Look up your value. File your protest. Attend the rate hearings.
