2026 Notices of Appraised Value in the Mail
April 10, 2026
The Bexar Central Appraisal District (BCAD) is mailing 2026 Notices of Appraised Value this week to approximately 196,000 property owners whose values have changed by more than $1,000 from the prior year – a continued decrease from prior years as property values remain relatively flat across much of Bexar County.
While more than 734,000 properties were reviewed, most did not see a significant enough change in value to require a notice. The 2026 appraisal year reflects a continued softening in the residential market, with many properties showing slight declines in value, while some areas continue to demonstrate stability or modest growth. New construction continues to add value to the tax roll, though activity has begun to moderate. Commercial property values vary by sector, with some areas showing growth while others remain stable.
With a substantially lower number of notices in the mail, Chief Appraiser Rogelio Sandoval wants to remind property owners that they can still file a protest. “Even if you don’t receive a notice, you still have the right to review and protest your property’s value. You can review your 2026 value online or contact our office with any questions.”
Property owners are encouraged to submit protests as early as possible ahead of the May 15 deadline to avoid delays. Protests can be submitted conveniently through the Online Services Portal at www.bcad.org, in person or by mail.
Bexar Central Appraisal District is responsible for appraising more than 790,000 properties across Bexar County in accordance with the Texas Property Tax Code. Filing for exemptions and protests is free and handled directly through the district.
