A Message From Your Property Appraiser

As sunny days replace colder temperatures, my team and I have recently completed a months-long community outreach campaign to educate taxpayers about the value of property tax exemptions. During this busy season, employees from all departments worked together to answer valuation questions, process exemption applications, and inform the community about the annual March 1 filing deadline. The best part was meeting you in your neighborhoods along the way!

We’ve had a busy few months since I was sworn in for my third term as your elected Property Appraiser. The state’s legislative session provided an opportunity for my leadership team and me to share insights with legislators as they considered proposals that could impact the property tax system. We also worked to implement the inflation-adjusted homestead exemption benefit approved by voters last November. I take seriously my responsibility to be an advocate for you while working closely with state and local leaders to provide the best possible service.

Over the next few months, my team will focus on ensuring that we produce a fair and equitable tax roll. We’ll be working diligently to complete our assessments of all of the county’s real estate and tangible personal property. If you see us out in your community, please be sure to say hello, and don’t hesitate to reach out to our office if we can assist you.
