Caption: Relating to the frequency with which an appraisal district is required to reappraise property for ad valorem tax purposes. Initially Referred to House S/C on Property Tax Appraisals Committee, chaired by a Democrat
HB 2786 amends the Texas Tax Code to require annual rather than periodic reappraisals of all property within an appraisal district for ad valorem tax purposes. It mandates that appraisal district boards develop a biennial written plan for reappraisal, ensuring consistency with generally accepted appraisal practices. The bill also modifies how appraisal value increases are determined for residence homesteads and other real property, emphasizing limits based on market value or percentage-based increases.
