TAGD is proud to host a fourth module of our signature GCD Boot Camp where participants learn the ropes of how GCDs operate. This module will include two topics that have frequently been suggested by TAGD members: elections and taxation. This boot camp was meant to take place at the winter business meeting, but has been rescheduled as a virtual event.

Elections for GCDs: This session will provide an overview of election timelines, requirements for candidate filing, required forms/paperwork, conducting your own election vs. contracting with County for election services, cancelling elections, and practice pointers and pitfalls.

Setting the Tax Rate: This session will cover the roles of the Comptroller/Appraisal District/Tax Assessor and Collector; outline notice and hearing requirements, timelines, and how to calculate the tax rate under both Chapter 49 and Texas Tax Code; discuss strategic considerations in setting the tax rate; and explore the relationship between setting tax rates and adopting a district budget. 

The cost of this GCD Boot Camp is $50/person.

If you were already registered to attend the boot camp on January 31, you do NOT need to re-register. If you are not sure if you were registered for the in-person event before it was cancelled, please check the list here.
