Texas Lawmakers Eye Big Changes for Appraisal Districts.

Texas appraisal districts, already reshaped by 2024 reforms, could see more changes as lawmakers file bills for the upcoming legislative session.

Proposals include electing chief appraisers, empowering homeowners in appraisal disputes, and even eliminating property taxes entirely.

Tarrant County’s recent reforms, like freezing property values and limiting appraisals, have sparked debate. Supporters hail them as relief for Texans burdened by high taxes, while critics warn of funding risks and potential erosion of the system’s integrity.

As property tax reform remains a hot topic, Texans await further developments in this legislative session.
