MCTAD submits its appraisal, collection budgets
The only budget that touches every taxing entity in Montague County has been submitted to those groups and awaits approval.
A proposed budget from the Montague County Tax Appraisal District received its first yes votes last week by the Bowie Independent School District Board of Trustees and Montague County Commissioners and it awaits on several pending agendas.
The MCTAD appraises all property in the county and related overlapping districts in Clay, Jack and Cooke Counties. County entities included in the budget include: Cities of Bowie, Nocona and Saint Jo; school districts in Alvord, Bowie, Forestburg, Gold-Burg, Montague, Nocona, Prairie Valley, Saint Jo and Slidell; Montague County and the Nocona Hospital District.
Appraisal district costs are shared among those entities based on their tax levy and amount of parcels sent out by the MCTAD.
The district also collects taxes for seven entities across the county. See that budget also in this story.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
