Homeowners in the City of Carrollton who reside within Denton County might have received a somewhat jarring notice in their mail recently—a 2025 Notice of Cancelled or Reduced Exemptions from the Denton Central Appraisal District (Denton CAD), but local authorities are advising that there may not be much cause for alarm. According to a recent news release by the City of Carrollton, these notices are a routine response to shifts in property value assessments, following a state-required protocol to keep homeowners informed.
The City of Carrollton offers a generous homestead exemption of 20 percent, benefiting those homeowners who have duly filed with their county appraisal district. As market dynamics play their mercurial game this figure naturally ebbs and flows in alignment with property values that, in Denton County's case, have seen a significant uptick in the past before moderating to less dramatic numbers, Denton CAD's notices serve to update residents on these fluctuations, which may manifest as changes in their exemption amount. When you own a slice of Carrollton's real estate pie, it's all part of the territory.
For those residents who have concerns or firmly believe that the notice they've received might be a case of mistaken assessment, they're being directed to contact Denton CAD directly via the phone number 940-349-3800 or send their inquiries and challenges to [email protected], this is the suggested course of action to find clarity or to have any errors addressed, as no one wants to pay more than their fair share.
