Washington County commissioners appoint Diane White to set tax-rate calculations
Summary
The Commissioner's Court appointed Diane White as the county's tax assessor-collector and chief appraiser to calculate the no-new-revenue and voter-approval tax rates under Tax Code 26.04(c). The appointment was approved by voice vote.
The Washington County Commissioner's Court appointed Diane White as the county's tax assessor-collector and chief appraiser to calculate the no-new-revenue tax rate and the voter-approval tax rate pursuant to Tax Code 26.04(c).
County Judge called for the appointment during the June 24 meeting and a commissioner moved approval; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The nut graf: The designated official will perform the statutorily required calculation that helps determine whether a proposed property tax rate would raise more revenue than the previous year (the "no-new-revenue" calculation) and whether a proposed rate would trigger voter-approval provisions under Tax Code 26.04(c). The court's routine decision sets who will prepare those calculations for the county's upcoming budget and tax-rate process.
Diane White will prepare the tax-rate calculations used in the county's public notices and budget deliberations. The court took no additional policy action at the meeting on the tax rate itself; it only designated the official responsible for performing the calculations.
The court moved on to other agenda items after the appointment; there was no further debate recorded on this item and no conditions or amendments attached to the designation.
