Selected at rung: N1: same neighborhood, size ±50%, age ±15y — 7 comparables.
Source: Tarrant County public appraisal roll, tax year 2026. Size and age factors are the published constants documented on page 4; adjusted $/SF = raw $/SF × size factor × age factor, as computed by the engine.
§3 — Median study & methodology
Where the subject sits
Adjusted unit values ($/SF), sorted; subject and median marked.
Statute basis
Tex. Tax Code §41.43(b)(3): a protest on the ground of unequal appraisal shall be determined in favor of the protesting party unless the appraisal district establishes that the appraised value of the property is equal to or less than the median appraised value of a reasonable number of comparable properties appropriately adjusted. This packet presents that test: comparable properties selected by the fixed, documented ladder below, each adjusted for size and age with published constants, and the median of the adjusted unit values applied to the subject's building area. Under SB 2063 (2025), market-value evidence cannot defeat an unequal-appraisal ground — the comparable-median study stands on its own.
Selection ladder
- N1: same neighborhood, size ±50%, age ±15y← selected
- N2: same neighborhood, size ±75%, age ±25y
- A: same map sheet, size ±50%, age ±15y
- B: same map sheet, size ±75%, age ±25y
- C: countywide class, size ±50%, age ±15y
- D: countywide class, size ±75%, age ±25y
Adjustment method
- Comparables: 5–10 properties of the SAME property class (never relaxed), nearest in building size, selected by the fixed ladder below — tightest geography first.
- Size adjustment: adjusted = raw × (comp GBA / subject GBA)^0.1 — larger buildings carry lower unit values, so a comp smaller than the subject adjusts DOWN.
- Age adjustment: ±0.005 per year of age difference, capped at ±0.10; a comp newer than the subject adjusts DOWN.
- Median: the middle of the adjusted unit values ($/SF); equitable value estimate = median × subject building area.
§4 — Tax effect
What the difference is worth per year
Adopted rates of the taxing entities that levy on this parcel, applied to the indicated over-assessment. Informational estimate.
| Taxing entity | Rate per $100 |
|---|---|
| Tarrant County | 0.18620 |
| JPS HEALTH NETWORK | 0.16500 |
| TARRANT COUNTY COLLEGE | 0.11228 |
| CITY OF FORT WORTH | 0.67000 |
| FORT WORTH ISD | 1.02910 |
| Total combined rate (2025 adopted) | 2.16258% of taxable value |
Annual tax effect — estimate
Indicated over-assessment of $304,297 at the combined rate ≈ $6,581 per year — informational estimate, computed by the engine from the adopted rates above.
Rates are the entities’ adopted rates (2025 adopted) from public records. Actual tax depends on exemptions, special valuations, and the value finally determined; nothing here promises any particular outcome.
§5 — Filing guide
How the owner uses this packet
The owner acts for themselves at every step; these are the public filing procedures.
- 1File a Notice of Protest (Comptroller Form 50-132) with the Tarrant Appraisal Review Board by May 15 or within 30 days after your notice of appraised value was delivered, whichever is later (Tex. Tax Code §41.44). Check the ground: 'Value is unequal compared with other properties.'
- 2You may file online through the district's owner e-protest portal (tad.org) or by mail to the ARB at the address on your notice.
- 3Bring this packet to the informal review with the district appraiser and, if unresolved, to your ARB hearing. The comparable grid and median study are your §41.43(b)(3) evidence; hand the panel the comp-grid page.
- 4You act for yourself at every step. This packet is information you chose to present — no one files, appears, or speaks for you.
