An agency official (speaker 8) told the Quorum Court that Randolph County’s reappraisal for the year is complete and that notices will be mailed July 15.
The official said the county has 17,758 parcels and that 15,731 of those parcels will receive notices showing an average valuation increase of about 47%. The reappraisal used sales from 2023–24, the official said, and the 47% figure is an overall average that does not mean every parcel increased by that percentage. The official noted that some taxpayers with homesteads and the new homestead credit increase (from $600 to $675 as described in the meeting) may experience a minimal increase or even a decrease in tax liabilities due to credits and the statutory 5% limit on annual assessment increases for occupied residences.
The official said notices will include information on how to contact appraisers and how to schedule an appointment with the Equalization Board; the deadline to request an appointment to appeal valuations is Aug. 17, with hearings typically held in September.
Why it matters: A countywide reappraisal affects tax valuations that feed into property tax bills, and the court’s notice provides a timetable and appeal path for residents who believe their valuations are incorrect.
What’s next: Notices will be mailed July 15; property owners who disagree with valuations may contact appraisers and schedule appeal appointments with the Equalization Board before Aug. 17.
