PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOARD

The Montgomery Central Appraisal District, like other Texas Appraisal Districts, has two distinct Boards working in conjunction with it: the Board of Directors and the Appraisal Review Board.

The BOARD OF DIRECTORS is the Board ultimately responsible for governing the Appraisal District. It consists of five (5) people elected by the taxing units for which the Appraisal District appraises property: e.g., cities, school districts, utility districts, special districts, and the county. If a county’s tax assessor/collector is not elected to the board, he serves as a non-voting member of the board. At the present time the Montgomery County Assessor/Collector serves as a non-voting member of the Montgomery Central Appraisal District’s Board of Directors. The directors serve two-year terms. The Board of Directors is responsible for making the District’s major administrative and financial decisions. The Board of Directors, for example, approves the District’s budget and makes decisions concerning major contracts. The Board of Directors also selects the District’s Chief Appraiser and, its Taxpayer Liaison Officer. The Board of Directors, however, does not take an active role in the appraisal of individual properties.
