Hays County Appraisal Review Board Seeks Applicants

The Taxpayer Liaison Officer for the Hays Central Appraisal District is accepting applications for consideration from candidates seeking appointment as Appraisal Review Board (ARB) members for the 2026-2027 term.

Individuals seeking appointment must be a resident of Hays County for at least two years and be current on property tax payments if they own property in the district.

An ARB member must be available for in person  hearings at the Appraisal District Office in Kyle. Meeting frequency varies depending on the time of the year, but all candidates will need to be available Monday thru Friday May 1st thru August 31st from 8-5.  ARB members do not work for the Appraisal District, nor does the appointment constitute a full-time job, but members are paid a  per diem of $175 per day when conducting hearings plus mileage.
