(Con't. From Sot. 1, Fog* I)
City Tax Asaessor-Collector
Cesar Dominguez gave the
council a report on the new tax
appraisal law which goes into
effect Jan. 1, 1980. The law
(Senate Bill 621), popularly
referred to as the Peveto Bill,
will revolutionize tax assess-
ment procedures forming one
appraisal district to include all
taxing agencies, with the ex-
ception of the county, which
may voluntarily join the group.
Dominguez's report and the
election deadlines setup by the
law are reprinted below:
Effective Jan. 1, 1980 an
appraisal district is to be
established in each county.
Every taxing jurisdiction, with
the possible exception of the
county itself, will be required
to use the values determined by
the appraisal district. Included
will be the city, school district,
water district and other special
districts. The county will have
the option to join the district
and use its appraised values or
continue to make their own
appraisals for the time being.
There will be a proposed
constitution amendment which
comes up for vote in Nov. 1980.
It authorizes the Legislature to
require the county to join the
appraisal district.
Another aspect of the single
appraisal concept in the code is
the provision for a single Board
of Equalization which will be
called “Review Board." The
Review Board will be appointed
by the Appraisal District Board
of Directors.
In the Equalization process in
the code; since the taxing
enities will not have direct
control of the appraising func-
tion, the code provides that the
cities and schools may chal-
lenge the appraisals or other
decisions before the Appraisal
Review Board.
The concept of this code will
not abolish the existing tax
offices. The code provides they
will continue to collect taxes.
This new law will not effect
local tax offices until 1982,
giving local officials time to
prepare for the transition.
Local offices will operate
under same laws with two
exceptions being: 1. Fraction
assessment will be prohibited.
2. Other exception involves
county tax office.
In 1980 there will be created
a state property tax board
which duties will include esta-
blishing minimum standards for
the administration and opera-
tion of appraisal districts and
county assessor-collector offi-
ces. Also provides professional
and technical assistance to local
tax officials at local expense,
upon request.
The appraisal district will be
governed by a board of five
directors, serving two-year
terms beginning Jan. 1 of
even-numbered years. The
governing boards of the school
districts and incorported cities
and towns participating in the
appraisal district will elect the
directors under a system of
cumulative voting. Should the
county commissioners court,
with the approval of the county
tax assessor-collector, choose
to join into the appraisal
district for county tax pur-
poses, then the county govern-
ment would also be entitled to
particiapte in the election of the
district directors.
The governing body may cast
its total number of votes for one
candidate or distribute it a-
mong candidates for any num-
ber of directorships. Both the
number of directors and the
method of their selection may
be changed by the governing
bodies of three-fourths of the
taxing units entitled tc vote
within the appraisal district.
Action required and dates
before which this action is
taken follows:
Sept. 15, commissioners
court must resolve to join the
appraisal district in order to
participate in the current direc-
torship elections.
Oct. 1, county clerk must
notify each voting taxing unit of
its number of votes.
Oct. 15, the governing body
of each voting unit must submit
the names of any nominees to
the county clerk.
Oct. 30, the county clerk
must prepare an alphabetized
ballot and deliver a copy to each
voting unit.
Nov. 15, each governing
body entitled to vote must cat
its votes and submit them to
the county clerk.
Dec. 1, the county clerk must
count the votes, declare the
five winners, and submit the
results to all candidates and to
all taxing units in the appraisal
district.
The directors begin their
two-year terms of office on
January 1.
