House Bill 2338 amends the Tax Code to require the county assessor-collector for each county that maintains an Internet website to post on the county website certain tax rate information for the most recent five tax years beginning with the 2012 tax year for each taxing unit having territory in the county. The bill requires each taxing unit to provide the relevant information to the county assessor-collector each year following the unit's adoption of a tax rate for the current year, requires the information posted on the website to be presented in the form of a table under the heading "Truth in Taxation Summary," and requires the county assessor‑collector to post immediately below the table a description of each tax rate presented in the table.
The bill requires the comptroller of public accounts by rule to prescribe the manner in which the tax rate information is required to be presented.
