If you just opened your Andrews County property tax bill and felt that familiar punch to the gut, you're not alone. With the median home in Andrews now assessed around $140,000 and effective tax rates hitting 1.8%, many homeowners are paying $2,500+ annually β often hundreds more than they should. The Andrews County Appraisal District processes thousands of properties each year, and assessment errors are more common than you'd think, especially with recent market volatility affecting comparable sales data.
Your suspicion that something's off with your assessment is probably correct. We see the same patterns across Andrews County neighborhoods β from the established areas near Andrews High School to the newer developments on the east side of town. Common issues include your property being compared to homes in higher-value areas like Midland County, outdated comparable sales from the oil boom years, or simple data entry errors about your home's square footage or condition. Even a $15,000 over-assessment costs you $270 annually at current tax rates.
Here's what most Andrews County homeowners don't realize: that "small" over-assessment compounds year after year. A $20,000 error doesn't just cost you $360 this year β it costs you $3,600 over the next decade, assuming tax rates stay flat. Meanwhile, your neighbors who successfully protest their assessments keep more of their hard-earned money. The Andrews County Appraisal Review Board approves reductions in over 60% of cases where proper evidence is presented, but most homeowners never file because they assume it's too complicated or time-consuming.
Andrews County's economy creates unique assessment challenges. The oil and gas industry drives property values up and down, making it difficult for appraisers to establish consistent comparable sales. Rural properties with mineral rights, older homes in the city center, and newer construction all require different valuation approaches. We understand these local factors because we work exclusively in Texas and have handled hundreds of Andrews County cases. We know which comparable sales the appraisal district uses, which ones they shouldn't, and how to present evidence that resonates with the local ARB.
You're busy running your life and career β the last thing you need is to spend weeks learning property tax law and gathering comparable sales data. That's exactly why we exist. You invest five minutes providing basic information about your property, and we handle everything else: researching comparable sales, identifying assessment errors, filing the protest paperwork with Andrews CAD, and representing you at the hearing. Most of our Andrews County clients never even attend their hearing because we handle the entire process.
Our typical Andrews County client saves between $400-$1,800 annually, with an average reduction of 12%. On a $150,000 assessment, that's often $1,800 back in your pocket this year alone. Our fee is 25% of your first year's savings, so if we save you $1,200, you pay us $300 and keep $900. If we don't reduce your assessment, you pay nothing. It's that straightforward β no hourly fees, no upfront costs, no surprises.
The Andrews County protest deadline is May 15th (or 30 days from when your notice was mailed, whichever is later). Miss this deadline and you're locked into paying the full assessment for an entire year. Every day you wait costs you approximately $6.85 based on the median over-assessment we see. The good news? Starting your protest takes less time than reading this page. We handle the research, paperwork, and hearing while you go about your normal routine.
Stop wondering if you're overpaying and find out for certain. Andrews County homeowners who take action typically wish they'd done it sooner β both for the money they save and the peace of mind knowing they're paying their fair share, nothing more.
