Public Information & Accessibility

The district is a political subdivision of the State of Texas and complies with the Texas Public Information Act (Gov’t Code Ch. 552) and the Open Meetings Act (Gov’t Code Ch. 551).

How to request records

Submit a written request by mail, email, or in person. Describe the records as specifically as you can (dates, property accounts, document types) so we can respond quickly. Put "Public Information Request" in the subject line of an email.

Your rights under the Act

  • Prompt access to public records that are not confidential or excepted from disclosure — nonconfidential information must be produced as soon as reasonably possible; ten business days is not an automatic waiting period.
  • If records cannot be produced within 10 business days, written certification and a reasonable date and time when they will be available.
  • If the district is seeking an Attorney General ruling to withhold information, written notice to you by the 10th business day, or by the 10th business day when no responsive information exists or information is withheld under a prior determination.
  • An itemized statement of estimated charges in advance when costs will exceed $40, including information about less costly access when available.

Frequently requested records (budgets, audits, agendas and minutes, and the reappraisal plan) are public records of the district. Appraisal roll data is available through the district office.

Accessibility statement

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA is the accessibility target for this site; this statement does not certify that every page, document or interaction conforms. The federal ADA Title II web accessibility rule sets a technical compliance date of April 26, 2028 for special district governments and for public entities with a total population under 50,000, and April 26, 2027 for other public entities of 50,000 or more (28 C.F.R. § 35.200(b), as amended April 2026); existing ADA effective-communication and equal-access duties apply regardless of those dates. Texas accessibility rules in 1 TAC Ch. 206, 213 principally govern state agencies and universities — this district may use them as a benchmark, not as a rule that automatically applies to a local government.

  • "Skip to main content" link and keyboard-operable navigation on every page
  • Semantic landmarks, headings, and labeled controls for screen readers
  • Visible focus indicators on links, buttons and form fields
  • Responsive layout that supports 200% zoom and mobile devices

Report a barrier: if you have difficulty using any part of this site or need content in an alternative format, contact the district office and describe the page and the problem. We aim to respond within two business days as a voluntary service goal, not an ADA deadline.

Records retention

District records are managed under the Local Government Records Act (Local Gov’t Code Ch. 201–205) and the retention schedules the Texas State Library and Archives Commission has adopted for appraisal districts, including Schedules GR and TX. Retention depends on a record’s content and function, not simply whether it appears online; removing a webpage does not by itself authorize destroying the record it came from.
