Property owner asks council to resolve disputed Gregory city-limit maps
Summary
A multi-year discrepancy between county appraisal maps and the city's own map around 7th Street and Avenue A prompted a lengthy public presentation; the council directed follow-up research and discussion with the county appraisal supervisor or a surveyor.
A property representative urged the council to accept the county appraisal districts mapping or to hire a surveyor, saying the contested boundary around 7th Street/Avenue A has caused tax and permitting uncertainty for the Gregory Gym and neighboring parcels. "This is an issue that we've been working on for well over 2 years now," the speaker told the council, asking that staff review the county's work and provide clarity to affected property owners.
The presenter showed maps and said the appraisal district had adjusted records in 2025, moving roughly 1.14 acres between taxable entities. Council members debated whether to accept the appraisal districts mapping or fund a city survey; several said the county's GIS and appraisal work might be sufficient, while others recommended hiring a surveyor or obtaining the appraisal offices documentation to remove legal uncertainty and settle tax and road-maintenance responsibilities. A motion was directed to have a council member follow up with the appraisal supervisor and return findings at the next meeting.
