Q&A: Meet the candidates running for Tarrant County Appraisal District Place 3

Why are you running for office?
I am seeking reelection to keep building on the wins we've achieved for the taxpayer:
 modernizing TAD's systems, expanding online resolution options, and holding the district accountable to the people who fund it. There's more work to do to make the process even faster and more transparent.

What are the biggest challenges facing the Tarrant Appraisal District?
Anti-taxpayer bias still exists in the valuation process, and I’m fighting to stop it. For instance, when the taxpayer achieves a value reduction at an Appraisal Review Board (ARB) hearing, the very next year the reduction achieved is often disregarded. I’m fighting to make the valuation process fair for taxpayers.

How do you plan to address these issues?
I voted to implement a mandate that the appraisal district has to produce clear and convincing evidence before they can raise any market value more than 5%. This will help get skyrocketing valuations under control!

What would your top priorities be if you are elected?
1. Lead Tarrant Appraisal District to put taxpayers first by ensuring a clear, timely, and
 respectful process and preserving every property owner's right to be heard.
2. Make the appraisal process easier to navigate: easier to participate in, easier to understand, and easier to resolve disputed property values.

What is your approach to reviewing the county's reappraisal plan?
I voted to move the annual valuation of properties to every-other-year to ensure more stable valuations. The results are clear: the appraisal district’s valuation process is headed in the right direction. I am running for reelection to protect these wins for the taxpayer.
