The operation of Hidalgo County is guided by a three-member Board of Directors, selected by the county’s tax entities, which include counties, cities, special districts, and schools. These board members act on behalf of the taxing bodies, with key responsibilities including selecting the chief appraiser and approving the county’s budget. Tax entities choose the board members to ensure that the interests of these groups are represented.
