FIPS 48209 · Tier 1 — Major metro

Data update cadence: 8-hourly once onboarded

The county CAD portal has been probed and is addressable without a formal records request. Onboarding is a data-engineering task, not a legal one.

Classification: PARTIAL

Portal: esearch.hayscad.com (BIS Consultants); hayscad.com main site is Cloudflare-gated

Tick 2026-07-06: esearch.hayscad.com is live (unlike the Cloudflare-403'd main site) with a real ARB Advanced Search tab (HearingDateTime/BoardMember, reCAPTCHA inert) and a Gregg-style JSON API (/Search/SearchResults?isArb=true) carrying the full value trio (cadValue/ownerOpinionValue/determinationValue), default year 2026, doubling as a free bulk roll (135,647 parcels). No populated ARB row isolated within budget, and unlike Jefferson/Comal the per-parcel page has no ARB section at all (API-only access). A separate 41.13 ARB hearing database download (2024/2025) is advertised but blocked by the same Cloudflare wall.
