PROGRAM:  We are pleased to have back of our the west end’s favorite presenters, Cheryl Johnson, Tax Assessor/Collector for Galveston County.  She always brings enthusiasm and great ways to save on your property taxes. Her presentation title is “Appraisal Notices Are On The Way – A Good Real Estate Market Promises Big Value Increases!”

She has updated the spread sheets and information to be a bit more concise and to better aid with the new chief appraiser and his staff’s philosophies.  She has “sharpened the protest saw”.  It is a must come and hear meeting from a pro resident fighting increases in property taxes.
