Title
Consider A Resolution Casting The City of Carrollton’s Votes For a Member Of The Board Of Directors For The Dallas Central Appraisal District.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Property Tax Code, Section 6.0301 requires an election of members to the Board of Directors of an appraisal district. There are now nine members of a board of directors, five are appointed by the taxing units of a specific district, and three are at-large based on a majority vote, and the final member is the county assessor-collector. The term of office is four years, beginning in even numbered years. The two candidates who receive the largest cumulative vote totals will be elected. Each entity is required to vote by official ballot resolution no later than December 15, 2025. The City of Carrollton has 14 votes and those votes can be distributed amongst the candidates as agreed upon by Council.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
By casting its votes for the Dallas Central Appraisal District Board of Directors, it allows for representation of the City of Carrollton’s residents and businesses to ensure our tax base continues to grow appropriately.
