Taxing entities all across the county have begun reviewing the 2023-24 Montague County Tax Appraisal District budget, the only one that impacts every governmental group in the county.
The MCTAD budget has been making the rounds with the county, cities and school districts. Chief Appraiser Kim Haralson met with the Montague County Commissioner’s Court earlier this month and reviewed where the budget increases and the reasons.
This budget proposal has a 3.30% increase compared to the prior year’s budget and they continue to work with only five employees. Haralson explained she had one long-time employee retire last year and it has been hard to keep an appraisal trainee.
Haralson added the abundance of growth they continue to see in the county is not showing any indication of slowing down, and they continue to maintain five staff members, the same number as the past 35 years.

The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
