Local Context for Midland
Your Appraisal District
The Midland Central Appraisal District (MCAD) values all property in Midland County. Midland is the headquarters of the Permian Basin oil and gas industry, home to major producers and service companies. The energy-driven economy creates significant volatility in property values — home prices surged during the 2022-2023 boom cycle but have moderated since. MCAD mass appraisals may not keep pace with these market shifts, leading to over-assessments when values cool.
Deadlines & Timing
Midland property owners receive a Notice of Appraised Value in the spring. The protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the notice is mailed, whichever is later. Given the cyclical nature of the Permian Basin economy, assessed values can lag behind market corrections, making protests especially important during downturn periods. We recommend enrolling early to give us time to analyze current market conditions against your MCAD assessment.
