Wilson County sits immediately southeast of Bexar County, making it one of San Antonio’s fastest-growing suburban counties. Floresville serves as county seat, and the county’s rural character has been rapidly overtaken by residential development as buyers seek affordability relative to San Antonio’s inner suburbs. Appraisals have accelerated with that growth, and many residents who moved here expecting lower taxes are finding their bills rising steadily.
4,417 ARB protests were filed in Wilson County in 2024; 49% of protests resolved through the informal process received a value reduction, and 82% of written ARB determinations lowered the appraised value (Texas Comptroller, 2024 Appraisal District Operations Survey). The San Antonio metro market provides solid comparable sales data, and properties with condition issues or misclassified land area present particularly strong cases. File before May 15 and come prepared.

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).
