Howard Central Appraisal District seeking applicants for Appraisal Review Board

The Howard Central Appraisal District is seeking applications for appointment to the local Appraisal Review Board (ARB). The ARB hears the formal appeals of taxpayers on matters of value and exemptions. It is a citizen board made up of Howard County residents who have been in Howard County at least two years. Members cannot be employed by any local government entity such as a school, city, college, or county.

The position does receive a daily service rate of $125. Training is required and is paid at the same rate as hearings. Most of the hearings are during the days, Monday through Friday, and occur June through August. A few meetings occur later in the year. The total number of days of service is normally between ten and twenty.
The ARB listens to the evidence of value or other information from both the appraisal district personnel and the taxpayer and then makes a decision on the preponderance of the evidence presented. The process and training are provided by the Texas State Comptroller’s office.

Persons interested in applying for the position can pick up an application at the appraisal district office at 315 S. Main in Big Spring or get an application online at www.howardcad.org. If interested persons have questions, they should contact the appraisal office at 432-263-8301. The decision will be made by the District Judge. The term of office is two years and is subject to reappointment.

Notice of Availability of Electronic Communications

Appraisal district chief appraisers and appraisal review boards (ARBs) may communicate electronically through email or other media with property owners or their designated representatives. Written agreements are required for notices and other documents to be delivered electronically in place of mailing.
How does it work? Certain guidelines must be followed for this local option communication:
• Written agreements with the appraisal district must be entered first, ensuring what electronic means of delivery are acceptable. If you are interested in receiving communications in electronic format, you should contact your local appraisal district.
• Public notice regarding the availability of agreement forms authorizing electronic communications may be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the appraisal district on or before Feb. 1 each year to property owners shown on the certified appraisal roll for the preceding tax year.
• The chief appraiser may determine the medium, format, content and method to be used for electronic communications other than notices required by Tax Code Section 25.19 which are prescribed by rule.
• A decision by the chief appraiser not to enter into agreements may not be the subject of an ARB protest, a lawsuit or a complaint to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation
