Wharton County Hires Legal Firm Over Solar Farm Valuation Error

Wharton County commissioners unanimously approved hiring a law firm to address a miscalculated valuation of the Danish Fields solar farm, which could cost the county and other local tax entities millions. The County Appraisal District will cover the legal fees. The valuation mistake by a third-party vendor inaccurately placed the entire property within Wharton County, causing a significant budget shortfall.
