The main cost component for the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) is labor. Tarrant CAD had a total of 216 employees in 2024, two more employees than in 2023, which was 214. This number includes 95 full-time appraisers. With thousands of tax parcels assigned to each appraiser every year, the system is stretched thin, leaving plenty of room for errors. Because valuations often rely on limited resources and tools, property owners have a real opportunity to challenge both the assessed value and the methods behind it.
