<br />. <br /> <br />Presiding Officers, August 15,2001 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />· In the event the county appoints someone other than the county assessor-collector to the <br />board, the county assessor-collector will serve ex officio in a non-voting capacity as a seventh <br />member of the board. <br /> <br />Eligibility Requirements <br /> <br />An individual must satisfy certain residency, employment, and conflict-of-interest requirements <br />to be eligible to serve on the board of directors. <br /> <br />Residency: The candidate must be a resident of the Harris County Appraisal District, and must <br />have resided in the district for at least two years immediately preceding the date he or she takes <br />office. <br /> <br />Employment: An employee of a taxing unit served by the appraisal district may not serve, with <br />one exception. An employee may serve if the employee is also a member of the governing body <br />or an elected official of a taxing unit that participates in the district. For example, a member of <br />the governing body of a school district who is also a city employee would be eligible to serve on <br />the appraisal district's board of directors. Elected officials or members of governing bodies who <br />are not employed by taxing units may serve on the Doard. <br /> <br />Conmct-of-interest: A candidate may not serve if the candidate is related to a person who is in <br />the business of appraising property or represents property owners for a fee in proceedings in the <br />appraisal district. Relatives barred are those within the second degree by consanguinity (blood) <br />or affinity (marriage). These persons include: spouse; children; brothers and sisters; parents; <br />grandparents; and grandchildren. The spouse's relative.s in the same degree are included. <br /> <br />A candidate who contracts with the appraisal district for any purpose, or with a taxing unit served <br />by the district for a property tax related purpose, may not serve. The same role applies to <br />candidates who have a substantial interest in businesses contracting with the appraisal district <br />(for any purpose) or with the taxing unit (for property tax purposes). A candidate has a <br />substantial interest if the candidate or the candidate's spouse has combined ownership of at least <br />ten percent (10%) of the voting stock or shares of the business. A candidate also has a <br />substantial interest if the candidate or the candidate's spouse is a partner, limited partner, or an <br />officer of the business. These prohibitions on contracting continue for the duration of the <br />affected director's tenn of office. <br /> <br />The appraisal district may not employ any person who is related to an appraisal district director <br />within the second degree by affinity or the third degree by consanguinity. The provision applies <br />to existing employees at the time the director takes office and to employees hired during the <br />director's tenn. <br /> <br />Delinquent taxes: Finally, a new provision adopted this year by the 77th Legislature makes a <br />person ineligible to serve as an appraisal district director if he or she has delinquent property <br />taxes owing to any taxing unit 60 days after the person knew or should have known of the <br />delinquency. <br />
