Summary
The bill lets the state legislature permit counties to hold elections for the chief appraiser instead of having the position appointed by the board of tax assessors. It establishes election rules, qualifications, a four‑year term, duties, and compensation, and provides a backup appointment process if a vacancy occurs. This changes how property assessments are overseen at the county level.
