Kendall Scudder is an affordable housing professional currently serving on the Dallas Central Appraisal District Board of Directors, Pos. 2. Kendall was first elected in May 2024 with a goal of helping to keep seniors and working families in their homes. 


The fight to slow the impact of gentrification on working families begins at the County Appraisal District, and Kendall is the trusted housing leader who can get the job done!


You may not be familiar with the work of your local Dallas Central Appraisal District, but it is vitally important for the functionality of all 63 governmental jurisdictions inside of Dallas County. The Appraisal District is an independent governmental entity housed within the Texas Comptroller’s office that determines the fair appraised value of every property in the county, effectively determining the value on which property owners will pay taxes. 


As your elected member of the DCAD Board of director, it is Kendall’s priority to ensure fair, equitable, and uniform appraisals, to ensure that citizens protesting their appraisals feel that they are treated fairly, and to make sure that mega-corporations are not able to obfuscate their tax obligations.
