Description/History

Taxing Entities within Tarrant Appraisal District of Tarrant County, Texas are entitled to nominate candidates for consideration and appointment to the County’s Appraisal Board.  The process allows taxing authorities to oversee the administrative process of the County’s appraisal districts.  Once candidates are nominated, the Appraisal District will notice the taxing authorities of the nominations and the taxing jurisdictions will then vote on or elect by voting on the five - member Board which will occur in the late November early December time period.  Statutory authority for this process is found in the Texas Property Tax Code - Section 6.03(g).

The current Board consists of the following members:

Joe Potthoff, Chairman

Mike O’Donnell                      

Johnny Bennett                     

John Molyneaux                      

John Eubanks, Not seeking reappointment                     

Non- Voting Member

Justification

Texas law provides for the appointment of an Appraisal Board to oversee the administration and operation of an Appraisal District in Texas. The nomination and appointment of these Boards is derived from the taxing authorities within the Appraisal District.
