House Bill 1038 amends the Tax Code to prohibit a chief appraiser, in determining the market value of a residence homestead, from excluding from consideration the value of another residential property in the same neighborhood that would otherwise be considered in the appraisal because the other property was sold at a foreclosure sale in any of the three years preceding the tax year of the appraisal, and was comparable at the time to other residence homesteads in the neighborhood, or because the other property has a market value that has declined because of a declining economy.
