Galveston County Appraisal District Chief Appraiser Summary - 2023

The chief appraiser of Galveston Central Appraisal District (CAD) was paid $176,000 in 2023. Galveston CAD appraisers determine thousands of property values each year using mass appraisal methods. Because so many properties are assessed by a relatively small team, there are often opportunities for property owners to challenge their valuations and appeal their property taxes.

Small Number Appraisers = Opportunities for Property Owners

Could the appraisal district handle the overwhelming number of property tax protests by simply declaring that all properties are correctly valued and avoiding appeals altogether? Realistically, that's not an option. There are far too many appeals for the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) to process.
Instead, most cases are resolved through informal settlements, which help save both time and money compared to a full ARB hearing.
