MCAD Tax Parcels
Parcels bundle together all real estate and real property into chunks that can be assessed by MCAD and taxed by dozens of taxing bodies. In many ways, these are the building blocks of how Texas funds its government, as there is no income tax to bring in money for things like school districts or MUDs. The emphasis on real estate gives Texas some of the highest property taxes in the nation.
These values and taxes can be lowered with property tax appeals. Get the best out of your protest when you sign up with O’Connor.

MCAD Total Number of Parcels in District
Midland County was made up of 420,000 parcels, ranging from homes and farms to oil and gas production. When put together, these parcels totaled over $56.73 billion in value, mostly thanks to petroleum companies. However, MCAD proved itself to not be up to the task of handling this large area, and only 270,700 parcels were assessed in 2024. This means that all of the values given to taxpayers should be taken with a grain of salt. The only way to ensure that they are accurate is for taxpayers to utilize property tax appeals.

Total Market Value for All Property
Midland County is the stereotypical Texas oil community, and this has shaped the county since the early days. In 2024, $33.78 billion in property value was thanks to petroleum production alone, making up more than half of the county’s $56.73 billion total. This is rare for Texas, as usually the top spot on the value chart is taken up by single family homes.
Homes were responsible for $15.48 billion of the remaining value, a number that has largely remained stagnant for the past decade. Commercial properties added $7.72 billion, while apartments accounted for $207.70 million. Oil and gas are the only property type that consistently shifts, thanks to the infamously up-and-down market.
