APPRAISAL CALENDAR – EQUALIZATION PHASE
The 2024 Notice of Appraised Value documents were mailed out on Tuesday, April 30th to all property owners in Runnels County. As in prior years, many property values will have seen an increase due to a continued increase in building costs and reported sales figures. Please don’t hesitate to contact our office with any questions or concerns related to your property’s value.
If you believe your current market value is unfair or inaccurate for the condition of the property as of January 1, 2024, call or email us to initiate an informal protest or file a formal protest by submitting your Notice of Protest form (included with your appraisal notice in the mail or email) or utilizing our online protest form. The deadline to file a protest with the Appraisal District is May 31, 2024.
We are unable to answer questions related to tax rates (what percentage of your value will be taxed this year) or tax amounts (how much can you expect to owe this year). Tax rates are set by your local taxing jurisdictions (county, city, hospital district, water conservation district, school district) typically around August or September each year and they determine how much you will owe in property taxes. Contact information for the governing bodies of each taxing jurisdiction is available here.
