The November election is over. The runoff isn't.
Two seats on the Harris Central Appraisal District (HCAD) Board of Directors go to a runoff on Saturday, December 12. Any registered Harris County voter can vote, whether or not you voted on November 3.
What's on the Runoff Ballot
Two races, four candidates. Read each candidate's answers to our nonpartisan questions, in their own words, before you vote.
What does HCAD do? The Harris Central Appraisal District sets the appraised value of property across Harris County. Those values are used to calculate property taxes. The elected directors help oversee the district's budget and operations.
Candidates are listed alphabetically. HCAD board races are nonpartisan, so no party labels appear on the ballot. Candidate responses are printed as submitted; the League of Women Voters does not support or oppose any candidate or political party.
