For cost saving purposes, the ARB typically meets at the Appraisal District office. The ARB establishes its own Procedures and Rules that govern its operations based on the Texas Comptroller's Model Hearing Procedures. Most ARB meetings are open to the public. The ARB meets throughout the year on a monthly basis to carry out supplemental duties. The ARB's decisions are binding only for the year in question.
The ARB also determines whether the Chief Appraiser has granted or denied exemptions and agricultural appraisals properly. The ARB determines taxpayer protests and taxing unit challenges. ARB members must comply with special conflict of interest laws.
Also the person's close relatives cannot work as professional tax agents or tax appraisers within the Appraisal District.
Any person who is a former member of the governing body or officer or employee of a taxing unit, or is a former director, officer, or employee of the Appraisal District is ineligible to serve. To qualify for service on the ARB, an individual must be a resident of the Appraisal District for at least two years prior to taking office. No employees or officers of the Appraisal District or the taxing units it serves may sit on the ARB. Although the Appraisal Review Board is funded by the Appraisal District, the ARB is a separate authoritative body. ARB members are appointed by the Local Administrative Judge of Collin County for two-year terms.
