The skill, accuracy and consistency of the appraisal district in valuing property within the county is measured in the Comptrollers ratio study. A ratio of 1.00 indicates the median property is assessed at 100% of market value. A ratio of 0.95 indicates the median property is assessed at 95% of market value. The coefficient of dispersion indicates the consistency and uniformity of valuing property within the county. An appraisal district with a low coefficient of dispersion has been more accurate and uniformly consistent in valuing property than an appraisal district with a higher coefficient of dispersion. A coefficient of dispersion of 5 to 10 is considered reasonable for single-family, duplexes and fourplexes in a large metropolitan area. A coefficient of dispersion of 5 to 15 is considered reasonable for commercial properties, income properties and land in a large metropolitan area. The coefficient of dispersion for Brazoria County Appraisal District is favorable for single-family and is within suggested limits for commercial real estate.
