An Equalization Program
For San Patricio County
After careful consideration and study, the
Commissioner’s Court of San Patricio County
has employed the Southwestern Appraisal
Company, Inc., to make a complete
equalization study of the property within the
County The County has been joined in this
cooperative effort by the Taft Schools, City and
Hospital District, the City of Gregory, the City
of Ingleside, Aransas Pass Schools and City,
and Mathis Schools and City
Why is this program necessary? In the past
decade, rapid changes in property values have
occurred, and these changes have caused
inequities in the tax structure The proper way
to correct this situation is to have all property
appraised When this is done, the current
market value is determined, and this will
provide information that will allow the gover-
ning bodies of the County, Schools, and Cities
to apply a percentage of this value for tax pur-
poses, thus implementing uniform and equal
assessments for all property
Our field men will soon be calling on you to
ask permission to inspect your property, and we
respectfully request your cooperation
The constitutional requirement that taxes
shall be uniform and equal and based on
current market values is of prime importance to
everyone Let’s all work for equalization We
assure vou that this program will lead to more
equal sharing of the cost of your county’s,
schools’ and cities’ services
