House Bill 1228 |
House Author: Metcalf et al. |

Effective: 1-1-24 |
Senate Sponsor: Springer et al. |
House Bill 1228 amends the Tax Code to replace provisions allowing for electronic communication under the Property Tax Code by mutual agreement between a chief appraiser and a property owner or the owner's agent with provisions that instead require the electronic delivery of communications under the Property Tax Code on election of the property owner or the owner's agent. This change applies beginning with the 2024 tax year for appraisal districts in counties with a population of 120,000 or more and with the 2025 tax year for appraisal districts in counties with populations less than 120,000.
House Bill 1228 also gives a property owner or the owner's agent the option to request from the chief appraiser or a private appraisal firm, as applicable, an electronic or mailed copy of the applicable information used to appraise the owner's property that the owner or agent is otherwise entitled to inspect and copy under state law in person.
