FORT BEND, TX – The Fort Bend Central Appraisal District (FBCAD) is the 2022 winner of the Tyler Excellence Award from Tyler Technologies, the software provider for the district’s computer assisted mass appraisal system.

Working in collaboration with the Williamson Central Appraisal District (WCAD) and the Montgomery Central Appraisal District (MCAD), FBCAD was awarded for “adapting to pandemic challenges, managing processes more efficiently, and delivering increased information access, and accurate, defendable taxations to the public”.

With Tyler’s help, FBCAD launched a streamlined appeals process to quickly process the record number of appeals in 2021. This collaboration allowed FBCAD to certify the appraisal roll on time; the largest appraisal district in Texas to do so. The appraisal roll is a critical piece of the property tax puzzle. It is used by the county, school districts, cities, and other taxing entities to establish the taxable basis for all property in the county.
