County alerts for $1.5 million value drops

Beginning with property tax years starting January 1, 2026, the Department of Revenue notifies counties when any property's preliminary market value falls by more than $1,500,000 since the last reappraisal. The notice is electronic and may cover more than one property. The department also sends a copy to each municipality in that county. The notice shows the prior reappraisal market value and the new preliminary market value. It goes out no later than the time the owner’s classification and appraisal notice is sent. If a county asks, the department meets with the county and, before the meeting, provides any public information it used to set the preliminary value. For centrally assessed property, the county notice comes after apportionment is complete. These notice and meeting rules do not apply to class four residential property.
