LCAD says records lag; Lometa council approves 2026 budget
Summary
Lampasas Central Appraisal District staff told the Lometa City Council that their records lag due to outdated information and software; the council voted unanimously to approve LCAD’s 2026 budget.
The Lometa City Council voted unanimously Aug. 4 to approve the Lampasas Central Appraisal District’s 2026 budget after a presentation from LCAD staff. "Mr. Juan Saucedo, Chief Appraiser, and Angela from LCAD gave a presentation on their budget and the effects it has on Lometa," the minutes state, noting the district is several years behind in records and software.
Councilmember Karen Chism moved to approve the budget; Gloria Martin seconded the motion, which passed with all five present members in favor. The council did not record a dollar amount in the minutes. The presentation identified outdated information and software as the primary causes of delays in updating appraisal records, and LCAD requested the council’s approval of its proposed budget to address the issue.
The approval authorizes Lometa’s support of the district’s 2026 operating plan; the minutes do not specify particular line items, revenue impacts, or any changes to Lometa’s tax rate. The vote was routine and recorded as unanimous.
