APPRAISAL CALENDAR – ASSESSMENT PHASE

RCAD appraisers have begun field work and appraisals for the 2024 tax year. Property owners may see appraisers in marked vehicles with safety vests and lights taking photographs. Typically, appraisers will be out in the morning between 8am-noon, but field appraisals may extend into the afternoon if necessary at the appraiser’s best judgment.

Vehicles and personnel should be clearly marked/identified, but anyone with questions or concerns may call our office at 325-365-3583.

Our appraisers do their best to respect property owners’ rights, so if we cannot access a particular property for any reason, we may submit a written request or place a call for access with the property owner or contact of record. A timely response is appreciated to help us complete our field work as efficiently as possible.
