Local Context for Mission
Your Appraisal District
Mission is served by the Hidalgo County Appraisal District (HCAD), headquartered in Edinburg. The city has seen steady residential growth along the 83 corridor and in areas near Sharyland ISD, pushing assessed values higher. HCAD appraises over 367,700 parcels across Hidalgo County, and mass appraisals can miss the nuances of individual Mission properties and neighborhoods.
Deadlines & Timing
Mission property owners receive a Notice of Appraised Value in the spring. You have until May 15 — or 30 days after the notice is mailed — to file a protest. Across Hidalgo County, 69% of protests heard by the Appraisal Review Board resulted in reductions in 2025. We recommend enrolling early so we can review your property and file with HCAD before the deadline.
