Harris Central Appraisal District 2023 Appraiser Summary

In Harris County, property tax protests are handled by the Appraisal Review Board (ARB), which operates under the Harris Central Appraisal District (CAD). The ARB is an independent panel of local citizens responsible for hearing property tax protests filed by homeowners and businesses. While HCAD determines a property's appraised value, the ARB reviews evidence from both the property owner and HCAD before deciding whether the value should be adjusted. In 2023, the ARB includes 108 members — 58 with prior experience and 50 newly appointed individuals. The board operates with a $3.59 million budget for the year.
