Just like last year new subdivision development is driving the rising property values across Montague County as two entities saw a reduction which in that case was a result of lower energy values.
The preliminary property value statements began arriving in county mailboxes this past week as the Montague County Appraisal District sent out some 42,000 statements including personal property, plus oil and gas notices. Overall property values for Montague County rose by $188,921,762.
Kim Haralson, chief appraiser for MCTAD, said just like last year they are running into a lot of new structures placed in the last year in these new developments whether it be ones with 100 lots or ones with 10. Last year it was down to the wire said the appraiser as they tried to get all those new properties put into the system, and this year it was similar. New taxable construction totaled $91,632,132.
