About Joshua
Room to spread out
Joshua is a small but growing community of approximately 8,500 residents in southern Johnson County. The city has become a destination for buyers seeking new construction on larger lots — typically three-quarter to one-acre tracts — at price points below what comparable homes command closer to Fort Worth.
Served by Joshua ISD, the area attracts families who want space without sacrificing school quality. The surrounding countryside includes rural acreage properties alongside the newer subdivisions, creating a market that requires local knowledge to appraise accurately.

FAQ
Joshua appraisal questions
How much does an appraisal cost in Joshua?
Standard appraisals in Joshua start at $600. Estate and litigation appraisals start at $800. Desktop appraisals start at $400. Final quotes depend on property size, complexity, and timeline. We provide a firm quote before work begins.
Can you appraise new construction on large lots in Joshua?
Yes. Joshua is known for new construction on three-quarter to one-acre lots, which is a significant draw for buyers coming from more densely built areas. New construction appraisals require analysis of builder contracts, lot premiums, and upgrade packages. We appraise new builds on acreage regularly in the Joshua market.
How long does a Joshua appraisal take?
Standard appraisals in Joshua are completed in 5 business days from the inspection date. Specialized work such as estate or litigation appraisals may take 10 business days or less. Joshua is approximately 30 minutes from our Fort Worth office.
How does Joshua ISD affect property values?
Joshua ISD is the primary school district serving the city and surrounding area. School district quality is always a factor in residential valuation. A qualified appraiser selects comparables within the same district when possible and adjusts appropriately when crossing district lines. Joshua ISD boundaries also overlap with parts of Burleson, which can affect comparable selection.
Can I use an appraisal for my Joshua property tax protest?
Yes. Joshua properties are appraised by the Johnson County Appraisal District (Johnson CAD). An independent certified appraisal provides strong evidence for a property tax protest. The deadline to file is May 15 each year. We recommend ordering your appraisal in March or April to have it ready in time.
