The Harris Central Appraisal District (CAD) is governed by a Board of Directors that consists of 6 members. The board of directors’ members are elected officials. Frequently, there are 11 board of directors’ meetings. The board oversees the operations of the HCAD, including approving the district's budget, appointing the chief appraiser, establishing policies, and ensuring the appraisal district complies with state law. While the board oversees administration, it does not determine the appraised value of individual properties or decide property tax appeals.
