A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
| |
|
|
relating to the matters that a taxing unit is entitled to challenge |
|
|
before an appraisal review board. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 41.03(a), Tax Code, is amended to read as |
|
|
follows: |
|
|
(a) A taxing unit is entitled to challenge before the |
|
|
appraisal review board: |
|
|
(1) [the level of appraisals of any category of
|
|
|
property in the district or in any territory in the district, but
|
|
|
not the appraised value of a single taxpayer's property;
|
|
|
[(2)] an exclusion of property from the appraisal |
|
|
records; |
|
|
(2) [(3)] a grant in whole or in part of a partial |
|
|
exemption; |
|
|
(3) [(4)] a determination that land qualifies for |
|
|
appraisal as provided by Subchapter C, D, E, or H, Chapter 23; or |
|
|
(4) [(5)] failure to identify the taxing unit as one |
|
|
in which a particular property is taxable. |
|
|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only |
|
|
to a challenge under Chapter 41, Tax Code, for which a challenge |
|
|
petition is filed on or after the effective date of this Act. A |
|
|
challenge under Chapter 41, Tax Code, for which a challenge |
|
|
petition was filed before the effective date of this Act is governed |
|
|
by the law in effect on the date the challenge petition was filed, |
|
|
and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
|
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
|
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
