How to Check Your McCulloch County CAD Appraised Value 2026

Notices usually mail out in spring or early summer. Your notice shows the previous value, proposed 2026 value, and protest deadline.

Appraisals are based on market sales, cost data, and income methods. Values aim for 95–105% of market to meet state requirements for school funding. Caps may apply automatically for homesteads or certain properties.

Check certified rolls, depreciation schedules (including 2026 BPP rates), and reports under Data and Records: https://mccullochcad.org/home/DataRecords
