🔴 2026 Protest Deadline: May 15, 2026 — or 30 days after your Notice of Appraised Value is mailed, whichever is later. Miss this date and you waive your right to protest.
Andrews County sits in the Permian Basin — one of the most productive oil and gas regions on earth. That energy wealth shapes everything about the local tax base, and it also shapes how aggressively valuations get pushed. With a population of around 18,000, Andrews is a small county where the appraisal district handles both residential and complex commercial and mineral accounts, often with the help of contracted appraisal firms.
The protest numbers here are striking: in 2024, 93% of written ARB determinations in Andrews County lowered the appraised value (Texas Comptroller, 2024 Appraisal District Operations Survey). That is not a coin flip — that is a system where formal challenges regularly produce results. If your value is wrong, the ARB in Andrews County will hear you out. File before May 15, 2026.

Before your ARB hearing, a CAD appraiser may offer to settle. Review any offer carefully before accepting — you can accept or proceed to the formal hearing.
The Appraisal Review Board is independent of the CAD. Present your evidence clearly and concisely. Most hearings run 15–30 minutes.
Disagree with the ARB ruling? You may appeal to district court, binding arbitration, or SOAH (properties over $1 million).
“No person’s particular services shall be demanded, nor property taken or applied to public use, unless by the consent of himself or his representative, without just compensation being made therefor.”
— Section 13, Declaration of Rights, Republic of Texas, 1836Andrews County built its economy on oil and hard work. The people here know the difference between fair dealing and someone running up the tab. When your appraised value doesn’t reflect reality — when it’s been nudged upward to cover budgets you had no voice in setting — that is not just compensation. The ARB in Andrews County has shown it will correct errors when property owners show up with evidence. Look up your value. File before May 15. Make the case. The system works when you use it.
