If you're reading this, you probably just opened your Navarro County property tax bill and felt that familiar punch to the gut. You're not imagining it β taxes here have been climbing faster than home values, and many homeowners are paying $500-$2,500 more than they should. The Navarro Central Appraisal District processes thousands of properties annually, and assessment errors are more common than you'd think, especially in areas like Corsicana, Ennis, and Rice where property values fluctuate significantly.
Here's what the county doesn't advertise: their assessment process relies heavily on automated systems and broad market data that often misses property-specific details. Your home might be assessed as if it has the same condition, features, and desirability as comparable properties, even when that's clearly not the case. We've seen Navarro County homes overassessed due to outdated square footage records, inflated land values, or comparisons to properties in better locations or condition.
The most frequent overassessments we discover include properties assessed with incorrect square footage (especially common in older Corsicana neighborhoods), land values that don't reflect actual market conditions, and comparisons to recently renovated homes when yours hasn't been updated. We also find cases where the appraisal district failed to account for property limitations like flood zones, busy roads, or needed repairs that clearly affect market value.
You're probably thinking the same thing most Navarro County homeowners think: "I don't have time to fight City Hall" or "They'll just reject my protest anyway." The truth is, the Appraisal Review Board approves a significant percentage of well-prepared protests, but most homeowners either don't file at all or submit incomplete evidence. The county actually expects protests β it's built into their system β but they're not going to volunteer to lower your taxes without proper documentation.
This is where we step in and handle everything you don't have time for. We start by analyzing your property against recent sales data throughout Navarro County, identifying specific reasons your assessment might be too high. Then we prepare all required documentation, file your protest before the deadline, and if necessary, represent you at the hearing. You literally spend five minutes providing basic information, and we handle months of work to build and present your case.
Once we file your protest with the Navarro Central Appraisal District, they'll schedule a hearing if we can't reach an agreement through informal review. Most cases resolve without you ever stepping foot in a hearing room, but when hearings are necessary, our licensed professionals present your evidence while you go about your normal routine. The entire process typically concludes within 60-90 days, and any reduction applies to your current tax year.
We charge 25% of your first-year tax savings, and only if we successfully reduce your assessment. If we save you $1,000 in annual taxes, you pay us $250 and keep $750 β plus you'll save that $1,000 every year going forward until your next assessment increase. Most clients save far more than our fee, and many tell us it's the best return on investment they've ever made. If we don't save you money, you owe us nothing.
Navarro County property tax protests must be filed by May 15th or within 30 days of receiving your notice, whichever is later. Miss this deadline, and you're stuck paying the full amount for another year while watching your hard-earned money disappear into unnecessary taxes. The good news is that starting your protest takes just a few minutes, and we handle everything else while you focus on what matters most to you.

The deadline to file a property tax protest in Navarro County is May 15th or 30 days after receiving your notice from Navarro Central Appraisal District, whichever is later. Missing this deadline means you'll pay the full assessed amount for the entire year, potentially costing hundreds of dollars in overpayments. If the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, it extends to the next business day, giving Corsicana homeowners a final opportunity to challenge their assessment.
Navarro County homeowners saved an average of $237.81 per successful protest in 2023, with total county savings reaching $1.61 million. This means a typical Corsicana homeowner could reduce their annual tax bill by $200-400 or more depending on their property's overassessment. With 60-90% of protests resulting in reductions, most homeowners in areas like Kerens, Rice, and Blooming Grove see meaningful savings that compound year after year.
Visit the Navarro Central Appraisal District (NCAD) website and use their property search tool by entering your address to view current and historical appraised values. Comparing your assessed value to recent sales of similar homes in Corsicana can reveal if you're overassessed by 10% or more. Properties assessed significantly higher than comparable sales are prime candidates for successful protests that could save hundreds annually.
A successful protest reduces your property's appraised value, which directly lowers your annual tax bill for that year and potentially future years. This reduction applies to all taxing entities in Navarro County, including city, school district, and county taxes, maximizing your savings. The lower assessment becomes your new baseline, meaning you'll continue saving money each year unless the appraisal district raises your value again.
Professional services typically achieve 15-25% higher success rates and larger reductions than DIY protests because they understand Navarro County's specific assessment practices and ARB procedures. Most services work on contingency with no upfront costs, meaning you only pay if they save you money. For busy homeowners in Corsicana and surrounding areas, professional representation often results in better outcomes while saving time and stress.
Property tax protests in Navarro County have a 60-90% success rate, with most homeowners achieving some level of reduction in their assessed value. The high success rate reflects that many properties in Corsicana, Kerens, and other county areas are initially assessed above market value. Professional representation can push success rates even higher by presenting compelling comparable sales data and identifying assessment errors.
The Navarro County property tax protest process typically takes 2-4 months from filing to resolution, with most cases settled through informal review before requiring an ARB hearing. Simple protests may resolve within 30-45 days, while complex cases requiring hearings can extend to 90-120 days. The timeline depends on NCAD's caseload and whether your case requires additional evidence or formal hearings.
Yes, landlords can protest property taxes on rental properties in Navarro County using the same process as homeowners, often with even greater potential savings on higher-value properties. Investment properties in Corsicana and surrounding areas are frequently overassessed because appraisers may not account for rental market conditions or property-specific factors. Successful protests on rental properties can significantly improve cash flow and investment returns.
The strongest evidence includes recent sales of comparable properties within 1-2 miles of your home, photos documenting any property defects or needed repairs, and market data showing declining values in your Corsicana neighborhood. Professional services analyze NCAD's assessment methods and comparable sales data to identify the most compelling arguments. Property condition issues, functional obsolescence, or market trends can all support your case for a lower valuation.
