Resident urges Tarrant County appraisal transparency, warns homeowners to protest by May 15, 2026
Summary
At the Crowley ISD called meeting, resident Syeda Syeda told trustees she believes the Tarrant Appraisal District's 2025 reappraisal produced widespread overvaluations and urged taxpayers to review appraisals and file protests before the May 15, 2026 deadline.
A Crowley ISD resident told the board the Tarrant Appraisal District's 2025 reappraisal has produced a surge in protests and alleged widespread overvaluation that is shifting the burden to homeowners.
"Taxpayers deserve transparency, accountability, and equal treatment under property tax law," said Syeda Syeda, who identified herself and gave her Collinville address during the district's open forum. She cited a claim from a recent TAD meeting that "nearly 204,000 properties received valuation reduction in 2025 after property owners filed protest," and said roughly 190,000 additional residential properties remain overvalued based on that account.
Syeda urged property owners to review their appraisals and to file protests before the stated 2026 deadline, saying the protest deadline for the 2026 tax year is May 15, 2026, at 5 p.m. The board did not take action on the comment; no district official responded to the claim in the recorded remarks.
The public comment came during the meeting's open forum; the board proceeded with its agenda, reconvened after an executive session and handled several personnel and program items. The district did not provide further detail about the appraisal claims on the record during this meeting.
