El Paso Homeowners Face Changes in 2026 Property Appraisals and Taxes

Homeowners in El Paso have begun receiving their property valuations for 2026, with the average market value rising by approximately 3%. The El Paso Central Appraisal District (EPCAD) has indicated that 86% of residential properties were reappraised this year, despite it not being a designated reappraisal year. Home values have surged significantly since 2020, with the average now around $253,000, leading to potential increases in property taxes for many homeowners due to Texas laws capping taxable value increases. Homeowners can protest their appraisals by May 15 if they believe the values are inaccurate, and property tax bills will be issued in the fall, with payments due by January 31 of the following year.
