What this means for a protest here

A typical home carrying the Buckner Terrace neighborhood code has about 1,988.5 square feet of living area. That number matters because once you hold size roughly constant, the per-square-foot values on record for homes near that mark still stretch from about $106 to $241. Two houses built to nearly the same footprint can be carrying appraised values more than double each other on a square-foot basis. That gap is what a size-adjusted comparison is built to catch: it isn't asking whether a home is expensive or cheap in absolute terms, it's asking whether its per-square-foot number sits closer to the $106 end of this neighborhood's range or the $241 end, once size is accounted for.

Running Buckner Terrace's own parcels through the same comparison this tool applies to an individual address found a case in 30% of the 1,204 parcels here with enough comparable data to evaluate. Among the parcels where a case turned up, how much it was worth varied widely: from under 1% up to about 31%, with the middle half falling between roughly 1% and 10%. None of that predicts what a specific home in Buckner Terrace will show. It depends on that address's own square footage and value relative to nearby comparable parcels, which is what checking an individual address actually looks at.

How filing a protest actually works

Your deadline to file a written protest is whichever comes later: May 15, or the 30th day after your appraisal district delivers your notice of appraised value. There's no single date that applies to everyone — it depends on when your own notice arrives, not a date any page can print in advance.

A protest based on unequal appraisal compares your property against similar, nearby homes in this same neighborhood. LoneStarLower prepares that comparison and the supporting materials; it does not file the protest, negotiate with the appraisal district, or represent you at a hearing. You file it, using Form 50-132 or an equivalent written notice, with your county's appraisal district office — not the Texas Comptroller, which doesn't handle individual protests. You attend the hearing and present the evidence yourself.

Questions about this data

How current is this data for Buckner Terrace?

Every figure on this page comes from Dallas County's certified appraisal roll, file dallascad_2026_certified_07232026, dated August 1, 2026. That is the most recent certified snapshot loaded for the county as of this page's generation.

Why doesn't this page show whether values went up or down from last year?

Dallas County has only one certified snapshot loaded so far, the August 1, 2026 dallascad_2026_certified_07232026 file, so there is no prior-year figure on record yet to compare against. A year-over-year comparison becomes possible once a second snapshot is ingested.

What does having a 'protest case' mean for a home in Buckner Terrace?

Using the August 1, 2026 dallascad_2026_certified_07232026 roll, running Buckner Terrace's parcels through the same comparison used for an individual address found a case in 30% of the 1,204 parcels with enough comparable data to evaluate, with the size of those cases ranging from under 1% to about 31%. That neighborhood-level figure doesn't say what any one home will show; each address is checked against its own comparable parcels.
