Lubbock CAD Homestead Exemption Help
LCAD clearly warns that there is never a fee to file for any exemption. If a company contacts you and asks for a one-time processing fee to file a homestead exemption, do not respond.
LCAD says online homestead filing is available. Search for your property, open the property record, look for HS Exemption, and click the flag to apply.
How to File or Prepare a Lubbock CAD Protest
Lubbock CAD encourages property owners to use the online inquiry/protest process. It is the fastest way to start and manage an inquiry or protest.
The protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the date the appraisal notice was mailed.
Open your LCAD property record and check market value, assessed value, property type, exemptions and account details.
Common issues include wrong square footage, wrong condition, wrong classification, missing exemption, unequal appraisal or market value too high.
Use photos, sales, repair estimates, closing statement, rent data, business records, or comparable property data.
Use the online protest option when possible. Save the confirmation or proof that your protest was submitted.
LCAD provides Appraisal Review Board 2026 hearing procedures, teleconference guidelines, videoconference guidelines, affidavit of evidence, and protest forms.
Evidence Ideas by Property Type

|---|---|---|
| Residential home | Photos, repair estimates, comparable sales, closing statement, condition issues. | Show why your home is not equal to better-condition homes nearby. |
