Description
The Jefferson County Appraisal District is comprised of three components: the Appraisal District office, the Board of Directors, and the Appraisal Review Board (ARB). Here we will discuss the function of the Chief Appraiser and the Appraisal District office. For information on the Board of Directors and ARB, please refer to the sections entitled "What is the function of the Board of Directors?", and "What is the function of the Appraisal Review Board?".
The Appraisal District does not levy a tax for its operations. Instead, it is funded by the taxing entities within its jurisdiction. Each taxing entity pays a portion of the District’s budget in direct proportion to the taxes it levies.
The Chief Appraiser is appointed by the Board of Directors to administer the Appraisal District office. The Chief Appraiser is responsible for appraising all property within the District; determining all exemption and special appraisal requests; conducting reappraisals of property; notifying the taxpayers, taxing entities, and the public about matters affecting their property values; and maintaining maps of all property within the District.
