Byron Haynes is running for Place 1 on the Tarrant Appraisal District Board of Directors in the Nov. 3, 2026, election. Tarrant County’s qualified-candidate list records his qualifying date as Aug. 17.
Background
On his campaign website, Haynes describes himself as a licensed real estate adviser with more than a decade of experience in Tarrant County, including property valuations and building and remodeling homes. He also lists service on the Fort Worth ISD Facilities Master Planning Community Task Force.
Campaign priorities
His platform calls for plain-language explanations of appraisal methods, publicly accessible comparable-sales information, stronger conflict-of-interest policies and regular reporting on board decisions.
Haynes also proposes auditing valuation consistency across neighborhoods and property types, making the protest process accessible to owners without professional representation, and expanding education about homestead exemptions. These proposals are attributed to his campaign materials, rather than submitted Surround Sound Media questionnaire answers. No submitted response was available for this profile.
Responses are based on public data and answers to a Surround Sound Media questionnaire if they were provided.
