This May, Harris County Voters will be asked to elect three members to the appraisal district boards. When Texas voters approved constitutional amendments to lower property taxes this year, they also approved new political positions within their appraisal districts that are now up for election on May 4, 2024.

Appraisal districts determine annual property valuations based on market value, which helps local taxing entities calculate how much tax revenue they can receive in a given year, as well as set their tax rates and budgets. Since 1980, these districts have included a property tax appraiser and an appointed board.

Beginning in May, there will be four-year terms for members of the boards for appraisal districts with populations over 75,000 and each will have eight members. Three of those will be elected.

Voting for this election will be conducted by the Harris County Clerk.  Early voting will be conducted April 22, 2024, through April 30, 2024, from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. and Election Day voting will be conducted on May 4, 2024, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.  To determine the polling location nearest you, please visit Vote Centers (Vote Centers (harrisvotes.com).
