1-14           (d)  The chief appraiser shall prepare and certify to the
1-15     assessor for each taxing unit a list of those properties of which
1-16     the chief appraiser has knowledge that are reasonably likely to be

1-22     the appraisal district for the preceding year and a reasonable
1-23     estimate of the market value, appraised value, and taxable value
1-24     for the current year.  Until the property is added to the appraisal
1-25     roll, the assessor for the taxing unit shall include each property
1-26     on the list in the calculations prescribed by Sections 26.04 and
1-27     26.041 and for that purpose shall use the lower market value,
1-28     appraised value, or taxable value, as appropriate, included on the

1-33     district property.  The chief appraiser shall assist each school
1-34     district in determining values of school district property for the
1-35     school district's budgetary purposes.

1-37     applies only to an appraisal roll submitted to the assessor for a
1-38     taxing unit on or after that date.
