Adam Bogard will serve as the new Harris Central Appraisal District chief appraiser starting in January, as Roland Altinger retires after over 30 years in the role.

The details

Altinger, who officially announced his retirement in July, will remain in his position until the end of the year, then become an advisor to the new chief appraiser until the end of February, according to a Sept. 17 news release.

Board Chairman Jim Robinson said Bogard’s experience as the county’s current deputy chief appraiser was beneficial to the board’s evaluation committee.

“Adam Bogard has a vast amount of experience at the appraisal district, and his knowledge and background will enable him to continue to provide the leadership necessary to provide Harris County property owners with first-class customer service,” Robinson said.

The impact

Bogard will be responsible for approximately 700 employees and more than 1.9 million properties with a total market value of $902 billion, according to the news release.

Last May, HCAD's board of directors added three new publicly elected members during a countywide election, the state's first board election. The board members are serving a term that expires Dec. 31, 2026.
