Grayson County Appraisal District is responsible for accurately valuing the houses in Grayson County. Overall, the average, or an ideal fair market value, should be extremely close to 100%. This is also called the median. The median is what defines the middle value. In real estate, this value is what the other market values compare to. The houses might be above or below the median market value. In 2020, the median assessed value from the Grayson County Appraisal District for houses in Grayson County was 99%. This was based on a ratio study of 3,053 house sales prepared by O’Connor in 2019 and 2020.
Is that 100%? Close, but not extremely close.

Out of a study of the 3,053 houses, many houses were far above and below the median value that they are supposed to be at. Here are some facts that were pulled from this study.
- 1,559 houses were assessed below 100% (that is over 51.1%)
- 48.9% of houses were assessed above 100% (that is 1,494 houses)
Of the 1,494 houses above market value:
-
- 386 houses (12.6%) were more than 110% of market value
- 280 houses (9.2%) were above 120%
- 221 houses (7.2%) were assessed at more than 130% of market value
In other words, 7.2% of the houses assessed by the Grayson County Appraisal District were valued at 30% MORE than what they should be.
This means that you might have one of the houses in that 7.2% that could be paying more property tax than you need to be.
