KEEP ME INFORMED

Texas Property Tax Code Chapter 320 - O'Connor and Associates

Texas Property Tax Code

Texas Property Tax Code
2006 Edition
Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts


The Texas Property Tax Code (TPTC) contains statues regulating the assessment, taxation, exemptions, appeal options, hearing procedures for Texas property tax appeals, judicial appeals for Texas property taxes, timely payment of Texas property taxes, and penalties for late payment of property taxes. The TPTC covers all counties in Texas and does not vary from county to county. Each county has an appraisal district which estimates the market value (assessed value) for real and personal property in the county.

Articles on appealing your property taxes and obtaining exemptions are available in this site. This and the preceding paragraph were prepared by O’Connor & Associates and the Texas Property Tax Code is determined by the legislature and compiled by the Texas Comptroller.

Sec 320.001. Saving Provision after Expiration of Chapter 312.

The expiration of Chapter 312 under Section 312.006 does not affect the validity of a reinvestment zone designated or a tax abatement agreement executed before the expiration of Chapter 312. A reinvestment zone designated or a tax abatement agreement executed before the expiration of Chapter 312 under Section 312.006 is governed by the applicable law in effect immediately before the expiration of Chapter 312, except that the designation of an existing reinvestment zone may not be renewed after the expiration of Chapter 312. A tax abatement agreement in effect when Chapter 312 expires may be extended as provided by the law in effect immediately before the expiration of Chapter 312. A tax abatement agreement executed after the expiration of Chapter 312 may not be extended.
