Texas Property Tax Discussion:  A Lone Star Tax-Talk Fiesta!

Presented by:
Alvin Lankford – Chief Appraiser, Williams Central Appraisal District
Larry Gaddes, PCAC, CTA – Williamson County Tax Assessor/Collector

Susan Morgan, CPA – Former City of Round Rock CFO

The 2026 appraisals are out, the 2025 legislative changes are in, and the 2027 budget season is upon us!  Is it too soon to be preparing for another property tax adoption cycle?  We have three panelists who will tell you it is never too soon to prepare.

Hear from a Chief Appraiser, a County Tax Assessor Collector and a former city CFO. 

In this session you will learn:

  • What are the roles of each in the process?
  • What you should understand about your CAD, appraisal roll and the certification process.
  • Guidance from a tax assessor collector on how to prepare now for the July through September process.
  • New requirements from the 2025 legislative sessions.
  • Tips on special requirements and issues that may impact your city.

There will also be time for Q&A with the panel to ensure you have a successful property tax fiesta season this year.
