Protest Your 2026 Montgomery County Property Taxes

Montgomery County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, with a population exceeding 600,000 residents. Located north of Houston, the median home value is approximately $335,000, and at an effective tax rate of about 1.39%, the typical homeowner pays roughly $4,655 per year in property taxes.

The Montgomery Central Appraisal District (MCAD) appraises all property in the county annually. In 2024, nearly 98,000 property tax protests were filed - 26% of all parcels - and 88% of those protests resulted in a reduced value. At the ARB level, 76% of cases still result in reductions.

Montgomery County is anchored by The Woodlands, one of the most successful master-planned communities in the nation, and the historic city of Conroe, which has experienced rapid growth in recent years. The lake communities around Lake Conroe, along with Magnolia, Willis, and the rural areas of the county, offer diverse housing options. Property values rose 1% year-over-year in recent data, and with continued growth the appraisal district regularly pushes values higher.

Whether you own a home in the upscale villages of The Woodlands, the lakeside communities near Lake Conroe, or the growing areas of Magnolia and Willis, protesting your MCAD assessment is one of the most effective ways to manage your Montgomery County tax bill.
