|
||
relating to the disposition of an ad valorem tax protest by means of | ||
an agreed order. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 41.47, Tax Code, is amended by adding | ||
Subsection (f) to read as follows: | ||
(f) The chief appraiser and the property owner or the | ||
designated agent of the owner may file a joint motion with the | ||
appraisal review board notifying the board that the chief appraiser | ||
and the property owner or the designated agent of the owner have | ||
agreed to a disposition of the protest and requesting the board to | ||
issue an agreed order. The joint motion must contain the terms of | ||
the disposition of the protest. The chairman of the board shall | ||
issue the agreed order not later than the fifth day after the date | ||
on which the joint motion is filed with the board. If the chairman | ||
is unable to issue the agreed order within the five-day period, the | ||
board shall issue the agreed order not later than the 30th day after | ||
the date on which the joint motion is filed with the board. The | ||
chief appraiser and the property owner or the designated agent of | ||
the owner may provide in the joint motion that the agreed order is | ||
appealable in the same manner as any other order issued by the board | ||
under this section. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act applies only to a protest filed under | ||
Chapter 41, Tax Code, on or after the effective date of this Act. A | ||
protest filed under that chapter before the effective date of this | ||
Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the protest was | ||
filed, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect January 1, 2020. | ||
