Dallas County homeowners in Wylie, Wilmer and Lewi

Dallas County homeowners in Wylie, Wilmer and Lewisville and those who pay taxes to Dallas Independent School District were some of those hit hardest by spikes in market value this year, according to preliminary data released last week by the Dallas Central Appraisal District.

Dallas County homeowners and many others in North Texas hoping for tax relief have until Wednesday to protest their valuations from local appraisal districts.

The county’s overall residential market values have gone up 15.56% since last year — up from the 12.67% increase in residential market values DCAD reported from 2022 to 2023. When appraisal notices went out last month, some saw their market values jump by as much as 60%.

Deputy Chief Appraiser Cheryl Jordan said the numbers are a reflection of the rapidly growing North Texas housing market.

“You’ve got more people trying to get homes than there are,” she said. “Now, interest rates went up a couple of years ago, and that slowed the market. It still didn’t drive values down.”
