Kendall Appraisal District plans expansion

Kendall Appraisal District is planning a building expansion that will effectively double the size of the current office space.

The overview

Boerne City Council on Jan. 27 approved a resolution to support the appraisal district expansion. City staff stated that the appraisal district requires the support of all taxing entities before the expansion can be implemented.

According to agenda documents, the current Kendall Appraisal District building was built 15 years ago and has allowed the district to operate without incurring facility costs for local entities. During that period, the district returned more than $1 million to the contributing entities.

The 4,950-square-foot building was intended to house 17 employees, a collections office, a break room, a server room, a conference room and data storage. Due to area growth, the district projects an additional 750-1,000 formal protests each year by 2027.

To handle the workload, the appraisal district has expanded staff and needs additional space to process the 6,000-7,000 total protests each year. Construction is expected to begin in September and be completed in Spring 2027.
