Rolling Plains cotton and ranching country — Hall County’s 1.26% effective rate falls on a small population of landowners in one of the Texas Panhandle’s most rural counties, centered on Memphis.

🔴 2026 Protest Deadline: May 15, 2026 — or 30 days after your Notice of Appraised Value is mailed, whichever is later. Miss this date and you waive your right to protest.
Hall County sits in the Rolling Plains of the eastern Texas Panhandle, where Memphis serves as the county seat for a community of fewer than 3,000 residents. Cotton farming, cattle ranching, and the occasional oil and gas lease define the county’s economy. The county’s small population means few protests are filed — and errors in valuation can compound silently for years before a landowner notices.
At 1.26%, Hall County’s effective rate exceeds the national median on modest property values. For ranchers and agricultural landowners in a county this small, the appraisal district has limited comparable sales data to work from — which can produce valuations that are easy to challenge with solid evidence. Your deadline is May 15, 2026 or 30 days from the mailing date.

The Appraisal Review Board is independent of the CAD. Present your evidence clearly and concisely. Most hearings run 15–30 minutes.
Disagree with the ARB ruling? You may appeal to district court, binding arbitration, or SOAH (properties over $1 million).

— Section 13, Declaration of Rights, Republic of Texas, 1836Hall County has fewer than 3,000 residents, and most of them work land their families have worked for generations. The Republic’s founders did not write the Declaration of Rights with only the large counties in mind — they wrote it for every Texan, including the rancher in Memphis whose property has been valued at a number that has nothing to do with what the ranch actually produces. Look up your value. File your protest. The same constitution that applies in Houston applies here.
