Why FBCAD Appraisals Are Lagging Katy's Market Correction
Katy has shifted from a seller's market to a balanced one. Home inventory rose approximately 18% year-over-year, and the median home price has settled around $329,000–$340,000 — slightly down year-over-year. But FBCAD values haven't fully caught up with this correction.
For Katy homeowners, this means your FBCAD-assessed value may be based on a market that no longer exists. FBCAD's models use historical sales data — and in a fast-changing market like Katy, that data may overstate your home's current value.
Katy ISD is consistently rated among the top school districts in Texas, and the district represents a large portion of your tax bill. Combined with Fort Bend County's already-high effective tax rates (often 2%+), every dollar of overvaluation in Katy costs you more than in lower-rate areas.
