In December of odd numbered years, City Council appoints a Bell County Tax Appraisal District Board member, who must be a resident of the County and must have resided in the County for at least two (2) years immediately preceding the date of taking office. On October 3, 2023, the Bell County Tax Appraisal District requested that the City of Killeen send its selection for the Board of Directors, via an adopted resolution by November 13, 2023. Mr. Richard "Dick" Young was appointed to fill an unexpired term on the Tax Appraisal District Board of Directors on February 9, 2021 and was reappointed to serve on the Board on October 19, 2021 for a two-year term. Mr. Young has expressed an interest to continue serving on the Board.
Depending if the changes from Senate Bill 2 on the November 2023 ballot are voted for, the Board of Directors that are appointed now will only serve one-year terms, and the entity-selected Board of Director process will be changed in the fall of 2024. Therefore, Mr. Young may serve a one or two-year term.
