Improvements that are under construction but not complete, are appraised based upon the percentage of completion. Valuation notices are mailed on or before March 1. Any property owner who believes their value or classification are incorrect, has 30 days to appeal to the Appraiser's office. The appeal process is outlined in a separate area on the web page. The County Appraiser establishes a market or use value for each property.
Market is established for each class of property with the exception of agricultural land.
Residential properties are typically valued by the cost and comparable sales approaches with the most weight on comparable sales. Vacant land is valued based upon comparable sales. Commercial properties are valued by all three approaches with the major emphasis on the income approach. Ag use values are used by County Appraisers in determining agricultural land values for property tax purposes. Each agricultural tract is first separated by its actual use.
