SB472
Given to Other Chamber Authored by Kevin Sparks (R) View at Source
Caption: Relating to the right of the chief appraiser of an appraisal district, the appraisal district, or the appraisal review board of the appraisal district to bring certain claims in an appeal of an order of the appraisal review board. Initially Referred to Senate Local Government Committee, chaired by a Republican
SB 472 revises the process for appeals involving appraisal districts. It specifies that petitions must be brought against the appraisal district, not the appraisal review board, and prohibits chief appraisers, districts, or review boards from filing counterclaims in such appeals. The changes also repeal a section of the Tax Code and apply to appeals filed after the act's effective date.
