“I am taking this opportunity to announce my retirement from my position as Brazos County Tax Assessor/Collector effective August 1, 2024. My decision to take this step at this time in my term is to make the transition in the office more efficient and less disruptive to the public. Timing is critical in the County Tax Office and a major change in administration is best handled during a historically quieter, less busy time if possible. There are multiple audits required when an elected Tax Assessor/Collector leaves office, and I have been very fortunate in the scheduling of these audits.

The office has received clean audits from the State Comptroller, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and is currently completing a full audit by the Brazos County Auditor.

I have also been amazingly fortunate in the opportunity of serving the citizens of Brazos County for the past 23 years. It is an honor to be chosen and trusted to serve the residents of this community along with the State, County, Cities, School Districts and Emergency Service Districts. My family and I were welcomed to Brazos County in July of 2001, and I was honored to be chosen as Tax Assessor/Collector upon the retirement of Mr. Winn in July of 2007. The fact that the residents continued to express their trust in me by electing me to the office of Brazos County Tax Assessor/Collector for 4 terms is truly overwhelming and I cannot begin to express my gratitude.

I look forward to spending more time with my husband and extended family. We hope to spend a little more time traveling and keeping up with the grandkids and that great-grandkid way out West.”
