TYLER COUNTY – Many Tyler County residents received a shock by way of the mailbox.
The certified preliminary values on taxable properties were sent out to county taxpayers last week, and some residents saw their appraised values increase by as much as twice what they were for the previous year’s levy.
Melissa Carson, the county’s tax assessor-collector, urged everyone who received an appraisal notice with an “enormous” increase to protest their value.
“Please, please don’t wait. There is a limited window in which to do this,” she said.
Taxpayers can protest online, or in person. Information as to how to protest and/or contact the county’s appraisal office is printed on the notices, and Carson offered her assistance.
“If I or my office can be of any assistance, please feel free to call. Our number is 409-283-2734.”
The county’s chief appraiser David Luther met with the commissioners and County Judge Milton Powers after a recess period from Monday morning’s regular meeting of the Tyler County Commissioners Court. Luther used the opportunity to explain the increase in appraisals.
