Council nominates Lisa McIntyre to fill Denton Central Appraisal District vacancy

Matt Hamilton, the city’s chief financial officer, told council the Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD) board sought nominations to fill an unexpired term following the death of a board member who had been elected. Mayor Hedspeth nominated Lisa McIntyre, a recent officeholder who had resigned to run for another position and who previously received county votes when elected in 2024; the nomination was seconded and carried 5–2.

Hamilton reminded council that a previous January nominee, Jordan Villarreal, could be renominated in the DCAD process. He described the DCAD board as a nine-member body composed of appointees by taxing jurisdictions, elected public members and the tax assessor.

Why it matters: DCAD directors influence local appraisal administration and property tax processes that affect residents and taxing entities. The DCAD board will consider nominees from taxing jurisdictions and appoint one nominee by majority vote.

What’s next: staff will submit the city nomination to DCAD and monitor the appointment process.
