WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Scrutiny Needed for Appraisal District Budget
📅 October 19, 2026
The board will vote to approve the 2027 budget for the Presidio County Appraisal District. This budget is funded by local taxpayers through the entities it serves, and an inflated budget contributes to the overall cost of government and higher property tax bills.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Marfa ISD board before the meeting (see district website for contact info). Ask: ‘Regarding Item VI.E, what is the percentage increase in the Presidio County Appraisal District budget over last year, and how will you ensure it is not bloated before approving it on behalf of taxpayers?’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes
