What this means for a protest here
Westwood's protest history in Dallas County's records runs to 292 separate outcomes, not a marketing sample — a real evidence base for what has actually happened when a Westwood parcel went through the process. In half of those 292 cases, the appraised value came down by 5% or less; the other half came down by more. Push into the upper end and the gap widens: a quarter of the outcomes cut the value by 9% or more, and the largest single reduction on file reached 46%. None of that says what happens to any one house — it says what has already happened to houses tied to this same neighborhood record.
Of all parcels carrying the Westwood code, 26% show a protest case in the data — a difference between what the county has on file and what nearby comparables would support. That comparison draws on 1,138 comparable parcels tracked in this same pool, the same evidence base a homeowner here works from when putting together a case. Price per square foot across those comparables isn't uniform either: even at the low end it runs as low as $65 per square foot, against a median living area of 1,232 square feet — enough spread that two similarly sized homes a few streets apart can carry very different values on paper.
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
Where does this Westwood data come from and how current is it?
It comes from the Dallas Central Appraisal District's certified appraisal roll, dated August 1, 2026, pulled into this snapshot on August 22, 2026. Every figure shown for Westwood traces back to that certified file.
What do the reduction outcomes for Westwood actually show?
Out of 292 recorded protest outcomes tied to Westwood parcels, the middle of the group saw the appraised value cut by 5%, and a quarter of cases saw a cut of 9% or more. The highest reduction recorded in this set reached 46%. These are results already on file for this neighborhood, not a forecast for any specific home.
Why does Westwood's neighborhood code matter for a protest here?
Dallas County groups this area under neighborhood code 4DSA02, and that code is what ties one home's case to its 1,138 comparable neighbors in the county's own data. The homeowner is the one who selects the comparables and submits the case — this page only shows what the code covers.
