Walker County Appraisal District Employee Summary – 2021

Walker County Appraisal District (Walker CAD) expenses can be attributed mostly to labor costs. Walker County Appraisal District has a total of 16 employees, including 7 appraisers as of 2021. The Walker CAD budget increased from $968,296 in 2013 to $1 million in 2021, a 51% increase. However, they have over 41,248 tax parcels to value annually, and that is just real property. This only allows a few appraisers for each property within Walker County, so naturally they rely on non-human means to arrive at their assessment values. These alternate methods of property inspection property typically include aerial photography. Opportunities for error abound, making the process ripe for property owners to appeal the property description and or valuation model or comparable sales or assessment comparables. Property tax appeals saved Walker County owners over $3 MM in 2021.

Walker County commercial property owners appeal 49% of the property value annually. The reason for this is because time and again it has proven successful over the last 40+ years since Walker CAD was established (around 1980).
