Dallas County Tax Appraisal – 2022
Dallas Central Appraisal District (CAD) is governed by a board of directors. The members of the Dallas CAD Board of Directors are selected by tax entities. The members represent the tax entities (schools, cities, county, and special districts). There are over 52 tax entities in Dallas County. The chief appraiser is chosen by the board of directors, and the budget (which exceeds $1 million for Dallas CAD) is approved. In 2024, this process is changing, with the public having the opportunity to run for position on the board and provide the property owners a voice in the process.
