Official Page of Victoria Central Appraisal District Chief Appraiser Keri Wickliffe Welcome to the official page of the Victoria Appraisal District.

Appraisal Districts were established in each county in Texas in 1981 to appraise each property at fair market value as of January 1 of each year for ad valorem tax purposes. The Appraisal District is governed by a Board of Directors who appoints the Chief Appraiser to serve as the chief administrator of the appraisal office. We invite you to contact or visit our office with any questions or concerns you may have. By visiting, liking, or commenting on this page, you agree to comply with Facebook’s Terms and Conditions.

🎃 Property Tax Myth Monster Alert!

The scariest thing we hear this time of year:
👻 "The appraisal district decides how much tax I pay."
Not quite!
Appraisal districts determine property values. Taxing units determine tax rates.
Don't let property tax myths haunt you this Halloween.
Happy Halloween from VCAD! 🎃

🐄 Victoria County Agriculture Fact🚜

Agricultural valuation is based on a property's productivity value rather than market value when qualification requirements are met.
This special valuation helps preserve Texas agriculture and open spaces.

Not sure if your property qualifies? 🌾
We're happy to help answer questions.

❌ MYTH: The appraisal district raises property values to increase taxes.
✅ FACT: VCAD does not set tax rates.

The appraisal district's job is to estimate market value based on marketplace activity and property characteristics. Taxing entities such as cities, counties, schools, and special districts set their own tax rates.
Understanding the difference helps make the property tax process a little less confusing.

Our office will be closed Monday, October 12th in observance of Columbus Day. We will resume normal business hours Tuesday, October 13th.

📚 Texas Tax Code Thursday
Did you know that homeowners may qualify for a Homestead Exemption if the property is their primary residence?
This exemption can help reduce the taxable value of your home.
✅ One application ✅ Stays in place unless ownership changes or eligibility changes
A little paperwork can save money! Call or come by our office for any questions!

🏡 We get this question all the time:
"What exactly does the Appraisal District do?"
The Victoria Central Appraisal District determines the market value of property and administers exemptions according to the Texas Property Tax Code.
What we DON'T do: ❌ Set tax rates ❌ Collect property taxes ❌ Decide how tax dollars are spent
Think of us as the value side of the property tax equation.
