Brazos CAD to add Three Elected Members to the Board of Directors as of July 1, 2024

 

With the passage of Proposition 4 at the November 2023 election, all counties with a population of 75,000 or more will include three elected members to be placed on the Appraisal District Board of Directors effective July 1, 2024. 

During the application process, three candidates filed for these positions in Brazos County: one for Place 1, one for Place 2 and one for Place 3.  Because there are no contested races for these three positions, it is no longer necessary for these offices to be placed on the ballot, and incur a significant cost, to hold the General Election to be held in May 2024.  The Board of Directors has approved and signed a Certification of Unopposed Candidates for Other Political Subdivisions (Not County) as well as a Sample Order of Cancellation at their most recent regular scheduled meeting.  The newly elected members will be sworn in and fill their positions after July 1, 2024.

2023 School Tax Freeze Ceiling Reduction

In May of 2022, Texas voters passed Proposition 1, which amended the Constitution authorizing the legislature to provide for a reduction in the 2023 school tax ceiling (freeze) for property owners with Over-65 exemption or those who have qualified for the Disabled Persons exemption.  This legislation is only applied to school districts. Other taxing entities, such as the counties and municipalities, were not included in the legislation. In addition, this change is not intended to produce any refunds, as it is applicable to the 2023 tax year forward.
