                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to the certification by a chief appraiser of certain
 1-3     taxable properties not included in the initial appraisal roll for a
 1-4     taxing unit.
 1-5           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-6           SECTION 1.  Section 26.01, Tax Code, is amended by amending
 1-7     Subsection (d) and adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:
 1-8           (d)  The chief appraiser shall prepare and certify to the
 1-9     assessor for each taxing unit a list of those properties of which
1-10     the chief appraiser has knowledge that are reasonably likely to be
1-11     taxable by that unit but that are not included on the appraisal
1-12     roll certified to the assessor under Subsection (a) or included on
1-13     the listing certified to the assessor under Subsection (c).  The
1-14     chief appraiser shall include on the list for each property the
1-15     market value, appraised value, and taxable value as determined by
1-16     the appraisal district for the preceding year and a reasonable
1-17     estimate of the market value, appraised value, and taxable value
1-18     for the current year.  Until the property is added to the appraisal
1-19     roll, the assessor for the taxing unit shall include each property
1-20     on the list in the calculations prescribed by Sections 26.04 and
1-21     26.041 and for that purpose shall use the lower market value,
1-22     appraised value, or taxable value, as appropriate, included on the
1-23     list for the property.
1-24           (e)  By June 15, the chief appraiser shall prepare and
1-25     certify to the assessor for each school district participating in
 2-1     the appraisal district an estimate of the taxable value of school
 2-2     district property.  The chief appraiser shall assist each school
 2-3     district in determining values of school district property for the
 2-4     school district's budgetary purposes.
 2-5           SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect January 1, 2002, and
 2-6     applies only to an appraisal roll submitted to the assessor for a
 2-7     taxing unit on or after that date.
