Mansfield Appraisal Districts
Each county in Texas has its own appraisal district, governed by a board of directors, to determine fair market values on property for tax assessment purposes, administer exemptions, update tax collectors, and make necessary changes to property records.
The city, county, and school district are all allowed to tax the same property. Instead of having all three of these perform an appraisal function, the Central Appraisal District appraises the property uniformly, collects the entire tax, and allocates the tax to each government entity in accordance with that entity’s rate.
