Delayed mailing of tax statements due to Hospital District Voter Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE)

The Hood Central Appraisal District is advising residents that the mailing of 2024 property tax statements will be delayed due to the upcoming Hood County Hospital District tax rate election.

The delay in mailing is a result of state regulations, which require that tax statements reflect the certified tax rates from all local taxing entities. Since the Hospital District's tax rate is pending voter approval in the election scheduled for Nov. 5, 2024, HCAD cannot proceed with issuing accurate property tax statements until after the election results are certified.

KEY INFORMATION FOR RESIDENTS:

• Election Date: Nov. 5, 2024
• Affected Entities: The delay specifically affects all property owners within Hood County.
• New Mailing Date: Tax statements will be mailed promptly following the certification of election results, which is expected in mid-Nov.
• Tax Payment Deadline: Residents will still have ample time to submit payments before the usual delinquency date of Feb. 1.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the tax rate election and its potential impact on their property taxes. For more information about the election or the delay in mailing tax statements, please contact the Hood Central Appraisal District at 817-573-2471 or visit www.hoodcad.net
