Dallas County property owners should expect the DCAD system to remain unavailable through July 24 while the district certifies the 2026 appraisal roll. The district’s notice gives an outage window of July 17 through July 24, and its calendar lists July 24 for certification by the chief appraiser.
What pending protesters should expect
The Dallas County Appraisal Review Board has received more than 250,000 protests for 2026. DCAD says hearings for protests that have not yet been scheduled likely will continue through September.
Owners waiting for a hearing date should watch their mail: DCAD says notices will be mailed at least 15 days before a scheduled hearing. Owners may also seek an informal review before the hearing.
What DCAD has not specified
The district’s notice does not identify which online functions are affected or give a precise restoration time. July 24 is the final date in the announced unavailability window, not a stated hour when access will return.
