WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS?

(Modified in part from Taxpayers’ Rights, Remedies, & Responsibilities as published by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts)

The Board of Directors of the Jefferson County Appraisal District is comprised of five members who are elected by the governing bodies of the taxing entities within the District. The members of the Board of Directors for the current term of office are:

Miriam Johnson
Eugene Landry
Charles Lankford
Fred L. Mitchell

C. L. Sherman

The Board of Directors oversees the activities of the Appraisal District. They do not appraise property or make decisions that affect the appraisal records; instead, they select the Chief Appraiser, adopt the budget, appoint the Appraisal Review Board, and make sure the District follows policies and procedures set by law.

The Board of Directors meets at the Appraisal District office every second Wednesday of the month at 4:00 p.m. The meetings are open to the public. Any person wishing to address the Board of Directors concerning a matter under their jurisdiction may do so under the public comments portion of the meeting.
