What Is Comptroller Property Value Study?

Definition
A biennial study conducted by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts that compares property values set by local appraisal districts to actual sale prices. The study evaluates whether each district is appraising properties at or near 100% of market value, as required by law.

Why This Matters for Your Protest

The Comptroller study is an independent check on your appraisal district's accuracy. If the study shows your county's median assessment ratio is significantly above or below 100%, it indicates systemic over- or under-valuation. You can reference this study in your protest to support an unequal appraisal argument, showing that the district is not uniformly appraising properties at market value.
