Board hears dollar examples showing how appraisal increases affect taxes

Mar 17, 2026

The county appraiser showed commissioners illustrative calculations for a $500,000 house and a $70,000 house under 4'7, 5'7 and 7'7 appraisal increases and a sample mill levy, to demonstrate the tax impact if the mill levy remains unchanged.

The full story

County Appraiser Zack Edwards presented printed examples to show how appraisal changes translate into estimated tax changes when the mill levy stays the same. Using a $500,000 example and a $70,000 example, Edwards calculated assessed values (noting residential assessment rates used in the examples) and applied a sample taxing-unit mill levy, walking the board through estimated increases under 4'7, 5'7 and 7'7 appraisal adjustments.
