McLennan County, Texas, chief appraiser Joe Don Bobbitt has been named executive director and chief appraiser of the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD), according to the Fort Worth Business Press.
Bobbitt will take over the position filled on an interim basis by William Durham, a longtime TAD employee appointed after the September departure of Jeff Law, who resigned Sept. 1 following a unanimous vote of “no confidence” by the Tarrant County Commissioners Court.
With nearly 13 years of experience in the appraisal industry, Bobbitt brings a wealth of knowledge to his new role at TAD, the district said in a news release. He spent three years as the assistant chief appraiser in McLennan County before becoming chief appraiser four years ago.
McLennan Appraisal District board chairman Ben Perry praised Bobbitt’s performance at the agency.
