For example, real estate owned by the government is typically exempt from taxation.

The Travis County Appraisal District is governed by a board of directors appointed by the taxing entities participating in the Appraisal District.

The Travis 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.

Chief Appraiser:

Art Cory

The members of the Travis County Appraisal Review Board (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 Travis County Appraisal Review Board (ARB) and challenge appraisals, exemptions, and inclusion of property on the rolls, situs, and other matters.
