Texas Policy Research Priority #1: TPR Vote Recommendation ENDORSED

SB 2073 authorizes appraisal district boards of directors to purchase, lease, or finance real property and construct necessary office facilities. It requires approval from three-fourths of the taxing units for property acquisitions or construction projects but removes the requirement for taxing unit approval on financing methods. The bill establishes a 30-day review period for taxing units to respond to proposals, with inaction being considered approval.
