Senate Bill 334 amends the Government Code to authorize a property owner protesting a property tax determination or the owner's agent to obtain on request from the applicable chief appraiser comparable sales data from a reasonable number of sales that is relevant to any matter to be determined by the arbitrator at the hearing on the property owner's appeal of the appraisal review board's order determining the property owner's protest. Any such information obtained from the chief appraiser may not be disclosed or used for any purpose except as evidence or argument at the hearing on the appeal.
Senate Bill 334 makes provisions relating to the confidentiality of certain information, items of information, and comparable sales data received by the comptroller of public accounts or an appraisal district from a private entity applicable in all counties by repealing a provision limiting the applicability only to real property located in a county with a population of more than 50,000.
