Our website contains general information about the District and the ad valorem property tax system in Texas. The Runnels Central Appraisal District is responsible for appraising all real and business personal property within Runnels County according to the Texas Property Tax Code and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
APPRAISAL CALENDAR – EQUALIZATION PHASE
Appraisal notices for 2022 were sent out at the end of April with a deadline to file protests on Tuesday, May 31. As of Wednesday, June 1st, no more protests will be accepted that were not filed with this office or postmarked by close of business on May 31st.
Appraisal staff are happy to answer questions and discuss issues pertaining to property valuations; however, we cannot make any changes that would affect the value at this point.
Property owners who filed a formal protest on or before the deadline and were not able to reach a settlement with our appraisers informally can expect to receive information regarding their upcoming Appraisal Review Board hearings in the coming days.
