77076 sits in Houston, Harris County. Properties here are appraised by Harris Central Appraisal District (HCAD), which is the same agency responsible for every parcel countywide. The protest deadline, filing methods, and ARB process are identical to elsewhere in Harris County — what's different is the underlying data.
About 33% of homes in 77076 saw their tax value jump by more than 20% this year.
A 20% jump in a single year is rarely supported by comparable sales. Homes in this group are textbook protest candidates — the math usually undoes the entire jump.
The median residential parcel in 77076 is appraised at $194,694 for the 2026 tax year (from $172,281 in 2025). That's a median change of +10.8% year over year — but medians hide the tail.

Recent residential sales in 77076 closed at a median of 100% of CAD-appraised value. Sale prices have been running ahead of CAD appraisals overall, meaning appraisals here have lagged the market — but individual mismatches (your home vs. the 77076 median) still warrant a protest.

The legal process is identical for every zip in Harris County — Texas Tax Code applies countywide and HCAD appraisers handle each protest the same way. What changes by zip is the underlying evidence:
HCAD mails Notices of Appraised Value (NOAVs) to property owners across 77076 and the rest of Harris County in mid-April. Your notice lists this year's appraised value and last year's, and the protest deadline is printed on it — Texas law sets it at May 15 or 30 days after the notice was mailed, whichever is later.
The protest math is simpler than it sounds: would your home actually sell for the appraised value today? Recent sales in 77076 are the strongest answer — they're also exactly the data HCAD appraisers use, so they engage on the merits when you bring better comps than they brought.
File online through the portal linked from https://hcad.org, by mail to 13013 Northwest Freeway, Houston, TX 77040, or in person at the same address. Online filing is fastest. Texas recognizes two independent grounds — market value and unequal appraisal — and which one (or both) actually applies depends on comparable-sales math and a statistical equity analysis against your peers. Our reports run both analyses on your specific property and tell you which grounds the data supports.
Successful protests are decided on three categories of evidence: recent comparable sales of similar homes in 77076, an unequal-appraisal analysis showing your value is higher than peers, and any condition documentation that explains why your home is worth less than the mass-appraisal model assumes. Many cases settle here without a formal hearing.
HCAD starts with an informal review where one of their appraisers offers a settlement based on your evidence. Accept it if it's fair. Reject it and your case advances to a formal Appraisal Review Board hearing — three private citizens who hear both sides for 5–7 minutes each and rule.

What differs by zip is the underlying market data: the comparable sales available to your protest argument, and the equity comparison against your neighborhood peers.
