May 7, 2024 - The last several years, Shelby County has experienced increased growth regarding real estate values. Every two years, the State of Texas’ Comptroller’s office, through its Property Tax Division, conducts their Property Value Study. The most recent study conducted was this past year, 2023. What this means is, the State Appraisers will take a random sample of properties within a school district; and then through reported sales and their field appraisals, they determine whether the Appraisal District is valuing properties at 100% market value, according to state law.
