The Tarrant Appraisal District will bring the reappraisal plan back into consideration at its Wednesday meeting.
As it stands, TAD reappraises residential property every two years. The plan froze property values for two years after the 2024 appraisal was done, meaning if the property value goes up or down based on the economic climate, the property’s value won’t actually change until the next appraisal is done in 2027.
The board at the time mentioned reconsidering the plan after it had been in effect long enough to see the results it had on property owners and school districts.
The plan has been highly contentious among school districts, cities and on the TAD board itself.
Eric Crile, recently elected to the board of directors, and Wendy Burgess are the members bringing the topic back to the table. Burgess did not reply to the Star-Telegram’s request for comment.
Crile said his goal in reconsidering the plan is simply to follow through on what the 2024 board said they would do.
The board could decide not to take any action, but it will discuss the plan and consider action at its 9 a.m. meeting at the Tarrant Appraisal District Boardroom, 2500 Handley-Ederville Road, Fort Worth.
