Appraisers will be in the field countywide over the next several months. You may see a vehicle moving slowly through your neighborhood, persons measuring the exterior of homes or possibly taking pictures; our appraisers carry badges and have signs on their vehicles identifying them as being from Hays Central Appraisal District. Feel free to ask for a business card or call the office for confirmation.
