WASHINGTON CO. APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD TO HOLD BUDGET WORKSHOP
The Washington County Appraisal District Board of Directors will hold its second workshop on Tuesday for the appraisal district’s proposed 2024-25 budget.
The proposed budget is $1.68 million, an increase of $55,755 from the current adopted budget. That amount comes from $38,000 in added personnel costs, $16,255 in extra professional and contracted services, and $1,500 in other additional operating costs.
Following Tuesday’s workshop, the board is scheduled to potentially adopt the budget at its meeting on April 23rd.
In other business on Tuesday, board members will consider a contract for $20,000 with Capitol Appraisal Group to appraise business personal property. In the agenda packet for the meeting, Chief Appraiser Dyann White said the appraisal district had an unexpected vacancy in the position of business personal property appraiser. Due to the lack of time or adequate funding, the district is instead seeking to contract out the appraisals for the 2024 appraisal year.
There will also be action on a proposed amendment to the 2023-24 budget, moving budgeted funds from one category to another to cover costs that were unknown when the budget was originally created.
The board will meet Tuesday at 10 a.m. in the appraisal district office, 1301 Niebuhr Street in Brenham.
