APPRAISAL REVIEW BOARD ADMINISTRATION - 2004/2005 CAD SURVEY

Appeal your Tarrant Appraisal District tax assessment! Its only a computer estimate.

The appraisal review board is charged with scheduling and conducting hearings on property tax appeals. The appraisal review board is intended to be independent of the appraisal district. It is inappropriate for appraisal district staff to schedule, organize or coordinate appraisal review board hearings. However, section 6.43 of the property tax code does provide that the appraisal review board may use the staff of the appraisal office for clerical assistance. However, in many cases it appears that the appraisal review board allows the appraisal district to schedule and supervise the property tax hearing process. The following is a summary of the number of appraisal district staff provided to the appraisal review board and the legal counsel utilized by the appraisal review board. Tarrant Appraisal District does employ outside counsel. Data provided by the Texas Comptroller.
