TO:
Honorable Frank Madla, Chair, Senate Committee on Intergovernmental Relations
 
FROM:
John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB2844 by Casteel (Relating to the exemption from the requirement that a person register as a property tax consultant to perform certain property tax consulting services.), As Engrossed

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Based on the analysis by the Real Estate Commission and the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the provisions of the bill would have no significant fiscal impact to the state.  The bill amends the Occupations Code to exempt a person from registering as a tax property consultant if the property tax consultant only provides services in connection with farms, ranches, or single family residendes.  The Comptroller indicates that there may be a minimal loss in revenue, but it would not significantly impact the state.

Local Government Impact

No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
