Their primary mission is to divide the property taxes paid to entities in the county as accurately and equitably as possible. Hood County Appraisal District had 70,015 tax parcels in 2021 and 10 appraisers to value them and conduct tax protest hearings. That works out to 7,002 tax parcels per appraiser.
Hood County Appraisal District has a lean level of staffingWe estimate about 25% of appraisal district appraisers work on valuation while the balance work on measuring new property and other inspections. We further assume the appraisers have 3 months or 66 days to complete valuations. Based on these assumptions, an appraiser at Hood County Appraisal District completes 424 valuations per day during the valuation period. The high pace of valuation per day is illustrative of the difficulty of accurately and uniformly valuing all 70,015 properties in Hood County.
