Title
Consider a resolution nominating a representative for the Williamson Central Appraisal District Board of Directors.
Body
The Williamson Central Appraisal District (WCAD) is responsible for appraising property in the county at its market value for property taxation purposes. The five-member board of directors sets policies for the WCAD and hires the Chief Appraiser. The board also approves the WCAD annual budget, which is funded by pro-rated assessments of the taxing entities in the county. In addition, the board appoints the Appraisal Review Board, a quasi-independent group that hears and rules on property tax protests.
The WCAD Board of Directors are instrumental in development and maintaining an appraisal district that is well managed and fair to both individual taxpayers and the entities that depend upon property tax revenue to fund local government operations.
Staff recommends nominating Lora Weber for another two-year term. Ms. Weber was first nominated in November of 2020 when a previous board member was unable to finish his 2020-2021 term.
This resolution allows the City to submit its nomination which is due before October 15, 2021. Staff will bring another item in November to cast to official votes.
