For years, the Bosque Central Appraisal District (BCAD) has made financial and operational decisions that directly impact taxpayers—without voter approval, without transparency, and without accountability. While property owners face record valuation spikes and economic strain, insiders have quietly benefited from inflated salaries, preferential appraisals, and unchecked authority.

Let’s be clear: this didn’t happen by accident. It happened because the taxing entities you elect—school boards, city councils, county commissioners, and ESD boards—looked the other way or actively approved it.

They allowed:

• A Chief Appraiser’s salary to more than double in five years, now exceeding nearly every other county official.
  
  

• A 250% taxpayer-funded retirement match projected to total over $5 Million in 30 years.
  
  

• Nearly HALF-A-MILLION DOLLARS in reserve funds stockpiled as residents struggle.
  
  

• A multimillion-dollar facility quietly being planned without public input or bond approval.
  
  

• Board appointments with potential legal conflicts of interest and no accountability.

• Preferential Valuation to properties tied to BCAD employees, allies, and close associates just as you suspected.
