A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to the correction of an ad valorem tax appraisal roll. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 25.25(c), Tax Code, is amended to read as |
|
|
follows: |
|
|
(c) The appraisal review board, on motion of the chief |
|
|
appraiser or of a property owner, may direct by written order |
|
|
changes in the appraisal roll for any of the five preceding years to |
|
|
correct: |
|
|
(1) clerical errors that affect a property owner's |
|
|
liability for a tax imposed in that tax year; |
|
|
(2) multiple appraisals of a property in that tax |
|
|
year; [or] |
|
|
(3) the inclusion of property that does not exist in |
|
|
the form or at the location described in the appraisal roll; or |
|
|
(4) an error in which property is shown as owned by a |
|
|
person who did not own the property on January 1 of that tax year. |

|
|
continued in effect for that purpose. |
