Three seats. One reform voice on the TAD board.
Phyllis Grissom, Ambika Sharma and John Adams are running together on one issue: accurate, equal and uniform appraisals. Voters elect all three seats on November 3.
Questions
Asked and answered.
What is TAD?
The Tarrant Appraisal District sets the taxable value of every property in the county. Its board oversees the district: it hires the chief appraiser, approves the budget, sets the reappraisal policy, and appoints review board members. It does not set your tax rate.
Why does TAD matter to my tax bill?
TAD does not set your tax rate. It sets the taxable value your city, school district, JPS and water district multiply by their rates. When TAD's values are wrong or frozen, rates absorb the shock.
What does Place 2 decide?
Place 2 is one of three seats voters elect to the nine-member board. The board's biggest lever is the reappraisal cycle: every year or every two years. Ambika supports returning to annual appraisals.
Can more than one candidate win?
No. Place 2 elects one director, and Texas law requires more than 50% of the vote. If no candidate clears 50%, the top two advance to a runoff. Vote for one; help Ambika end it on November 3.
Why did bills go up if values froze?
Frozen appraisals shrank the tax base, so cities, schools, and other taxing entities raised their rates to cover shortfalls. Your bill is rate times value: a higher rate on a frozen value can still mean a higher bill.
How do I protest my appraisal?
Each spring, TAD mails appraisal notices (see TAD.org). Compare your value to recent nearby sales, file by the deadline printed on your notice, and bring your evidence to the hearing. You can protest every year, frozen values included.
When and where do I vote?
Early voting runs October 19 through 30, and Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Look for Place 2 down the ballot, and confirm your polling place with Tarrant County Elections before you go.
