Hunt County is changing. What was once rural pastureland east of Dallas is now catching the edge of DFW’s relentless expansion — and the appraisal district’s numbers are following. Long-time landowners and homesteaders who have lived here for generations are seeing tax bills their parents never faced, driven by values that reflect DFW speculation more than local economic reality.

Before your ARB hearing, a CAD appraiser may offer to settle. Review any offer carefully — you can accept or proceed to the formal hearing.
The Appraisal Review Board is independent of Hunt 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, 1836
Hunt County is home to families who have worked this land for generations. Multi-generational Texans who have owned property for decades are being pushed off it by tax bills their parents and grandparents never faced. The founders were explicit: property shall not be taken without consent and just compensation. Show up. Look up your value. File your protest. Attend the hearings. The people setting these rates are your neighbors. They work for you — as long as you hold them to it.
