Nacogdoches County CAD Operations and Budgets
Nacogdoches Central Appraisal District (NacoCAD) is a mystery to many people.
- 1. Why do they exist?
- 2. Who runs the operation?
- 3. Who funds the operation?
Nacogdoches Central Appraisal District is a quasi-governmental operation made possible by Tax Code Section 6 regarding the establishment of one appraisal district in each county. Appraisal districts were legislated into existence in 1979 to begin operation in 1981; the legislation is known as the “Peveto Bill”, based on the sponsor. Previously each city, county and school district valued property in their jurisdiction separately and had hearings regarding value. The board of directors consists of representatives of largest tax entities (school, county, city, MUDs, special districts). They are largely a “budget board” with two responsibilities: 1) select the chief appraiser (who runs the appraisal district) and 2) approve the annual budget. Nacogdoches Central Appraisal District's budget was $947,993 in 2021, up 14% from $829,560 in 2014. The Nacogdoches CAD budget is $11 per tax parcel versus $28 per tax parcel statewide.
