How property tax appeals work in Johnson County
Every Texas homeowner has a right to protest their assessed value under Texas Property Tax Code §41.41. In Johnson County, protests are handled by the Johnson County Appraisal District (Johnson CAD). The deadline is May 15, 2027, or 30 days after your appraisal notice was mailed, whichever is later.
Johnson CAD covers fast-growing Burleson and Cleburne in the DFW exurbs. Rapid new construction means many resale homes are assessed against newer, pricier builds, a common unequal-appraisal angle.
The strongest protests include 3-7 comparable sales from the last 12 months in your immediate neighborhood, adjusted for square footage, age, and condition. Cleburne / Burleson-area assessors typically reduce values when presented with clear, recent comp data.
Johnson County is one of the counties in our Texas Over-Assessment Study, where we ran millions of homes through the same unequal-appraisal comparison the Johnson CAD uses. You can check your own address free in 30 seconds, or read our full methodology first.
