In 2023, Mizani and the City of Keller initiated a recall of the Tarrant Appraisal District Chairwoman after a series of controversies came to light from the Tarrant Appraisal District.[11] [12] One controversy included the Tarrant Appraisal District having technological failures regarding tax protests. In a letter addressed to the Tarrant Appraisal District, Mizani called the failure "inexcusable" and called on the Tarrant Appraisal District to extend the protest deadline amid its website failures.
