Denton County homeowners cannot get their property appraisals and don't have information to protest their property taxes. Here's why.

Even if you don’t live in Denton County, this matters to you because it illustrates how county chief appraisers have little oversight.

The final deadline to protest appraisals is on track for June 30, which puts the district an astounding 45 days behind neighboring counties. A district’s board of directors is elected by the governing bodies of taxing entities in that district. The public has no say. McClure’s job performance became an issue last year when the county’s leader of the appraisal review board system, Beverly Henley, accused McClure of sending out erroneous appraisal notices to property owners. The notices showed a 10% reduction, which allowed some owners to happily withdraw their protests. But later those owners received a second corrected notice, often with a smaller reduction.

The state agency is still investigating Henley’s complaint. McClure did not respond to a question about this. Because staffing issues were ignored, she said, when she was hired in 2020, the district “would be worse before it got better.” She said it would take 3-5 years “to fully fix the issues that were presented to me at the time of my hiring.”
