Local Context for Kaufman County
Your Appraisal District
The Kaufman County Appraisal District (KCAD) values over 60,000 parcels across the county, including Kaufman, Forney, Terrell, Heath, Kemp, Crandall, and Mabank. Kaufman County is the second-fastest-growing county in the United States at over 6% annual growth, and Forney alone has doubled in population since 2020. This explosive growth has driven assessed values up — the median home value is now around $294,000 — sometimes faster than market conditions support.
Deadlines & Timing
Kaufman County property owners receive a Notice of Appraised Value in the spring. The protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the notice is mailed. KCAD reports a 90% success rate for protests heard by the ARB, making Kaufman County one of the best places in Texas to protest. Note that KCAD does not offer online protest filing, so having representation ensures your protest is filed properly and on time.
