B. Larry Parr is Men's Prayer Breakfast Speaker
Waller County Appraisal Review Board Chair Mr. B. Larry Parr is the speaker for the Men’s Prayer Breakfast at St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church set for June 21, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. in the Parish Hall of the Church on 2000 Phillip Street. All persons are welcome to participate in the fellowship and free breakfast. Please call 936-857-3732 or write: [email protected].
Mr. Parr’s leadership and vision have shaped local development, education, and public safety for decades in the community. His remarkable journey is a testament to the power of vision paired with action. The ARB resolves disputes between taxpayers and the appraisal district, contributing to a stable and just environment for property owners and local government alike. Having served on the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) for five years, Parr’s commitment to fairness and justice is further underscored by his credentials as a mediator and arbitrator, ensuring that every voice is heard and every dispute is resolved with integrity.
A pioneer in construction, Parr launched Mariah Construction Services thirty years ago—a company that has since become a cornerstone in both residential and commercial development. His hands-on approach and keen understanding of the industry have left an indelible mark on the built environment of Waller County and beyond.
With over 35 years as a real estate broker, Larry Parr’s expertise is matched only by his passion for education.
His academic journey is as diverse as his professional one, having attended the University of Houston, Texas Tech, Stephen F. Austin, and South Texas Junior College. He earned his Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering from Columbia State University—a foundation that has informed his approach to every project. Notably, Parr designed and built two data centers in 1999 and 2000, including one for the State of Louisiana. Together with Gean Schmit, he introduced the Fire Code to Waller County, which was adopted by the County Commission Court, enhancing community safety and setting a new standard for local governance.
Mr. Parr’s contributions extend far beyond the boardroom or construction site. As Chair of the Waller County Appraisal Review Board, he has guided the county through complex challenges with wisdom and compassion. Parr will share insights from his life’s work, offering inspiration and fellowship to all who attend.
