The Fort Bend Central Appraisal District (FBCAD) Board of Directors consists of five elected members, and the County Tax Assessor-Collector serves as a non-voting member. Every two years, the county, cities, school districts, conservation and reclamation districts (MUDs and LIDs) are responsible for appointing five members to serve as the Board of Directors of the appraisal district.
Board members serve a two-year term beginning January 1 of even-numbered years. Each taxing entity is invited to nominate a candidate for each position to be filled on the board of directors (total of 5 positions). In October 2023, the City Council nominated Michael Rozell and Jim Kij through Resolution 23-32, as both expressed a desire to serve another term on the board.
The Chief Appraiser has received all of the nominations from the participating taxing entities, and there are five (5) candidates for five (5) positions. The City has 127 votes out of 5,000 total available. A signed resolution must be submitted with the ballot, allocating the City’s votes to the Chief Appraiser by December 15, 2023. The City Council may allocate the votes to one or more candidates as they see fit. Only one ballot may be submitted per taxing entity.
The candidates for the 2024-2025 FBCAD Board of Directors, listed alphabetically on the ballot, are:
- Pamiel Gaskin

Resolution No. 23-41 will allocate the City’s 127 votes between the candidates as the City Council directs. Upon approval, the Resolution will be returned along with the attached ballot to the Chief Appraiser as directed.
