HENDERSON COUNTY–Henderson County Commissioners’ Court voted Dec. 10 to cast all its balloting votes for a single Henderson County Appraisal District (HCAD) board of directors member who County Judge Wade McKinney said represents the interests of the county.
The vote was done in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Texas Property Tax Code while casting the county’s ballot for Henderson County Appraisal District (HCAD) Board of Directors 2025, which McKinney said is related to law changes to the board of directors, which he said does not set appraisals.
