Grayson County, Texas

Running for County Appraisal Districts in 2026

NOTE: the candidate process outlined below only applies to counties with a population of

75,000 or more.

Senate Bill 2 (88th Leg., 2nd C.S.) made a number of changes to the Tax Code regarding the

composition of Appraisal Districts. Senate Bill 2 added Section 6.0301 of the Tax Code to

provide that an appraisal district in a county with a population of 75,000 or more is

governed by a board of nine directors. The board is composed of both appointed and elected

directors. Five of the directors are to be appointed by the taxing units that participate in the

district in the manner prescribed by Section 6.03 of the Tax Code. Three directors are

elected by majority vote at the general election for state and county officers by the voters of

the county in which the district is established. The county assessor-collector serves as an ex

officio director.

The elected members of the board will then serve staggered four-year terms beginning on

January 1st of every other odd-numbered year. (Section 6.0301, Tax Code). Following the

initial election of the elected directors of an appraisal district that occurred on May 4, 2024,

directors are now elected as provided by Section 6.0301 of the Tax Code beginning with the

general election conducted in November 2026. Directors that are elected in November 2026

will take office on January 1, 2027.
