Wichita Appraisal District Tax Parcels
The Wichita County Appraisal District (Wichita CAD)attempts to: 1) identify all real and personal property, and 2) then value each parcel. Their primary mission is to divide the property taxes paid to entities in the county as accurately and equitably as possible. Wichita Appraisal District had 78,422 tax parcels in 2021 and 9.75 appraisers to value them and conduct tax protest hearings. That works out to 8,043 tax parcels per appraiser.
Wichita Appraisal District has a lean level of staffing. We estimate about 25% of appraisal district appraisers work on valuation while the balance work on measuring new property and other inspections. We further assume the appraisers have 3 months or 66 days to complete valuations. Based on these assumptions, an appraiser at Wichita Appraisal District completes 487 valuations per day during the valuation period. The high pace of valuation per day is illustrative of the difficulty of accurately and uniformly valuing all 78,422 properties in Wichita County.
