For a mayor to serve our community, Texas law says they have to actually live here — not in another town. According to public records from the Burnet County Appraisal District: Our current mayor, Mike Dickinson, has had a homestead tax exemption on a house at ---- CR 323, Liberty Hill, TX 78642 since 2023. The Bertram address he used to live at — --- N Grange — has been listed with a homestead exemption for the new owners since 2022. A homestead exemption can only be claimed on your primary residence. If the mayor's legal home is in Liberty Hill, that means it’s outside our city limits — and that’s not allowed under Texas law for someone holding this office. If something as basic as his address is in dispute, it raises concerns about accountability in bigger decisions. Bertram deserves honest and transparent  leaders who live here, walk the same streets, and feel the impact of the decisions they make. If our mayor’s real home is in Liberty Hill, he’s approving developments and policies he won’t have to live with. That’s not right. What We’re Asking-

 We’re calling on the City Manager, Georgina Hernandez, to:

 Verify where the mayor currently lives.

Make the findings public.

Take action if he’s not eligible to serve.

 If you believe our leaders should follow the law and truly represent our town, please sign this petition. Your name will be part of an official petition delivered to the City Manager by certified mail.

Sign and share to make sure Bertram is run by people who call Bertram home.
