Neighborhood code 4SSJ12

Every year, DCAD compares recent sales in each neighborhood with its values. If the neighborhood's sales ratio is more than about 5% from 100%, it typically targets the neighborhood for reappraisal, assuming enough sales data. It uses the same model and location factor for homes of the same building class within a neighborhood. That's why your neighbors' values tend to move together, and why knowing your neighborhood matters.

PeriodTypical home's change
2024 to 20250.0%
2025 to 2026 (certified roll as of Sept. 15, 2026)0.0%

This is the middle home's own year-over-year change. It can differ from the change in the median value, because the median home is not the same home each year.

Range within the neighborhood

The 10th to 90th percentile range of values in the 2026 certified roll as of Sept. 15, 2026 is $224,966 to $306,140. This middle 80% describes variation across the neighborhood, not a value for any one property.

Certified below the April notice

Using the certified roll as of Sept. 15, 2026, 17.4% of homes with both an April notice and a certified value had a certified value below their April 2026 notice value. A lower certified value can result from a protest, an informal settlement or an appraisal district correction.

Median reduction among homes with lower values

Among homes whose value in the certified roll as of Sept. 15, 2026 was lower than the April 2026 notice, the median reduction was $11,260. This is a group summary, not a prediction or protest outcome for an individual property.

Sources and method

Neighborhood classification: workpaper 005_dallas_neighborhood_types.sql. Last verified 2026-10-08.

This is a 2026 residential-only appraisal-neighborhood assignment. The certified roll source is DCAD2026_CURRENT, dated September 15, 2026; proposed values are the April 2026 notice values. Approximately 5% of residential accounts are absent from the certified file and are unavailable for this analysis. Method: see How we verify. Source release date: 2026-10-05.

The certified-below-notice comparison uses accounts with both notice and certified values. A lower certified value can result from a protest, an informal settlement or an appraisal district correction.

Medians are shown in whole dollars. Year-over-year figures show the typical home's own percentage change, not the change between neighborhood medians. Statistical summaries require at least 30 homes; the below-notice share requires 30 homes with both an April notice and a certified value, and the median reduction requires 10 homes with reduced values.
