Subject: Resolution 24-R-125 - Nominating candidates for the Bexar County Appraisal Board of Directors to be appointed for the 2025 term. (Mayor/S.Edmondson)

BACKGROUND

Added in SB2 of the second special session of the 88th legislature, Section 6.0301 of the Texas Property Tax Code applies to appraisal districts established in a county with a population of 75,()00 or more and alters the make-up of the Bexar Appraisal District Board of Directors. Three members elected by majority vote in the May 2024 general election joined the five directors appointed by the taxing units that participate in the district in the manner prescribed by Section 6.03, Texas Property Tax Code.
To implement the necessary term changes and as required by Section 5.13(d), Texas Property Tax Code, members appointed in this cycle shall draw lots at the first meeting of 2025 to determine which two shall serve a term of one year, beginning January 1st, 2025 and expiring December 31st, 2025, and which three shall serve a term of three years, beginning January 1st, 2025 and expiring December 3 1st, 2027. After that, appointed members will serve in four-year terms.

To begin the appointment process, each taxing unit authorized to vote may nominate one candidate for each of the five positions on the Bexar Appraisal District Board of Directors by resolution of its governing body and submit the name(s) of the unit's nominee(s) to the Chief Appraiser by October 15th.
