I protested the 2022 tax appraisal with Ward County Appraisal District. I received a letter from Pritchard & Abbott, Inc. Valuation Consultants of Fort Worth, TX dated May 24. Pritchard & Abbott worked with the operator I own interest in, “Callon Petroleum.” My value was reduced $27,591.00. Also received a SETTLEMENT AND WAIVER OF PROTEST which I signed as I do not think I could have done better.
In conclusion, it is worth protesting the tax increases. It appears there is room for negotiations on the appraisals.
Protest!!

Two years ago I protested my appraisal for a Ward County interest with P&A. After several calls and emails with their representative I was able to reduce my tax by about 1/3. There came a point where they would no longer negotiate and we were scheduled to present our case before the Board. I thought of continuing but understood there was very little success for the interest owner with the Board so I stopped at that point. Definitely negotiate!

Mike, I looked at protesting my taxes in Ward County, but I got stumped when the form asked for my opinion of the value and facts to support my case. Did you provide a value and facts to support it? Or how did you approach the protest? It would be helpful to know how to go about it. Thanks in advance.
