timberland because it could establish an arbitrary
classification scheme, and because it would place an
additional restriction on timberland that does not ap-
pear in the constitutional or statutory provisions that
permit productivity valuation.
One comment suggested that a section of the manual
discussing the reasonable management costs at-
tributable to the production of timber, which are to
be subtracted from the value of the land's average an-
nual timber growth to establish an annual net income
for timberland, should be expressed in terms of gross
income rather than dollars per timberland acre. The
agency agreed with the suggested changes and re-
vised the manual accordingly.
One comment suggested wording changes and gram-
matical clarifications in the manual. The agency agreed
with these changes and revised the manual accord-
ingly.
The remainder of comments received questioned a
section in the manual regarding the application of a
minimum taxable value for qualified timberland, as re-
quired by the Property Tax Code. 23.78. The com-
ments all requested that the proper procedure for ap-
plying a minimum taxable value for timberland involve
a substitution of the 1978 taxable value on the entire
parcel, not on a per acre or per category basis. This
agency disagreed in that such direction is inap-
propriate for the timberland manual. Section 23.78
places authority for the substitution of a minimum
value with the assessor for a taxing unit. The State
Property Tax Board cannot by rule confine the im-
plementation of that authority. Accordingly, the
language appearing in the manual suggests several
procedures an assessor may reasonably take, rather
than directs a single mandatory or preferred pro-
cedure.
No comments were received at the public hearing on
the rule that adopts by reference the manual.
The rule is adopted under the provisions of Texas Prop-
erty Tax Code, 23.73(b), which requires the board
to promulgate rules setting forth the method of ap-
praising qualified timberland pursuant to the Code,
23.71-23.79.

has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be
a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
