Local Context for Brownsville
Your Appraisal District
Brownsville is the county seat of Cameron County and served by the Cameron County Appraisal District (CCAD), which appraises over 221,000 parcels. The city has seen significant development, particularly near the SpaceX Starbase facility in Boca Chica — now an incorporated city. Brownsville home prices have risen over 52% since 2020, and CCAD assessments may not always reflect the actual market value of individual properties.
Deadlines & Timing
Brownsville property owners receive their Notice of Appraised Value in the spring. You must file a protest by May 15 or 30 days after the notice is mailed. In 2024, nearly 14,550 Cameron County protests were filed, with a 69.6% success rate at the ARB. With values rising rapidly due to SpaceX-driven development, protesting is especially important to ensure your assessment is fair.
