Titus County sits in the Piney Woods of Northeast Texas, with Mount Pleasant as the commercial and civic hub. The county’s economy blends agriculture, poultry processing, and small manufacturing. Appraised values have risen with rural property demand, putting pressure on longtime residents and small landowners.
Approximately half of protests filed in Titus County in 2023 resulted in a value reduction. The informal settlement process alone produces results for many — but only if you file. The deadline won’t wait.

Before your ARB hearing, a CAD appraiser may offer to settle. Review any offer carefully before accepting — you can accept or proceed to the formal hearing.
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).
“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, 1836Titus County is where generations of families have put roots in the Piney Woods. Rising values driven by outside demand should not push out the people who built this place. The founders wrote clearly: your property cannot be taken without just compensation. An inflated appraisal is not just compensation. Look up your value. File your protest. Attend the rate hearings.
