Ector County Appraisal District Employee Summary – 2021

Currently employing 28 people, including 12 appraisers, the Ector County Appraisal District had a budget of $3.5 M in 2021, an increase of 47% from $2.39 M in 2013. Every year, the tax district must value over 241,364 tax parcels. A significant number of valuations are conducted and only a limited number of appraisers are available, so logically they have limited ability to inspect properties other than via aerial photography. There is a potential for appeals of property descriptions, valuations, or comparable sales and assessments. Each year, Ector County property owners save more than $12.7 M through property tax appeals.

The reason why large commercial property owners appeal 43% of their property value annually is that it has proven to be effective over the last 40+ years since Ector CAD was founded (around 1980). An appeal is filed by almost 3 percent of residential property owners, with higher-value homes filing more appeals. A minimum value does not need to be met in order for O'Connor to assist you as a property tax consultant.
