Tom Green County in West Central Texas is home to San Angelo, a city of approximately 100,000 anchored by Goodfellow Air Force Base, Angelo State University, Shannon Medical Center, and a significant ranching and oil economy. San Angelo's real estate market is driven by stable government, military, and healthcare employment, creating consistent but modest demand. The Tom Green County Appraisal District (TGCAD) manages assessments across a market that has seen steady appreciation but remains one of the more affordable markets in Texas. The 2026 protest deadline is May 15, 2026.
Tom Green County Market and Assessment Patterns
San Angelo's stable employment base creates a market less volatile than the major Texas metros but still subject to mass appraisal errors — particularly for properties with condition issues, unusual characteristics, or in neighborhoods where limited comparable sales reduce model accuracy. Goodfellow AFB creates military PCS demand similar to other Texas military communities.
