The Harris County Appraisal District Board of Directors Role, in the Property Tax System, is to hire the chief appraiser, set the budget, and appoint the appraisal review board members. The board of directors has no authority when it comes to setting the values or any being involved in any of the appraisal methods utilized by the chief appraiser. The chief appraiser’s responsibility is to carry out the appraisal district’s legal duties, hire staff members, property appraisals, and manage the appraisal office.

Chief Appraiser:

Jim Robinson

The members of Harris County ARB are private citizens appointed for two-year terms and are permitted to serve a maximum of three terms. Property owners and the appraisal district go to the ARB to dispute taxation values. The ARB is also charged with ensuring that the chief appraiser has granted exemptions and special-use appraisals properly. Taxing units and taxpayers may come before the ARB and challenge appraisals, exemptions, and inclusion of property on the rolls, situs, and other matters.
