BASTROP CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bastrop County continued to recover from the fire and other natural disasters in 2014. Homes began to be built back in the devastated areas and growth from the Austin metro area continued to push down 71 and 290 toward Bastrop and Elgin. New commercial properties popped up along major intersections and home values continued to escalate. GENERAL INFORMATION The Bastrop Central Appraisal District is a political subdivision of the State of Texas. The provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code govern the legal, statutory, and administrative requirement of the appraisal district. Members of the Board of Directors are elected by the taxing units within the boundaries of Bastrop County and must have resided within the district two years prior to serving on the Board. The Chief Appraiser is appointed by the Board of Directors and is the chief administrator of the appraisal district. The Appraisal District is responsible for local property tax appraisal and exemption administration. The local taxing units County, Schools, Cities, and special districts (Water Control, Emergency Service and Community College) set a tax rate from your property tax appraisal issued by the Appraisal District. Article 8 of The Texas Constitution defines five basic rules for property taxes: Property taxes must be equal and uniform. Generally, property must be taxed at market value defined as "the price at which a property would transfer for cash or its equivalent under prevailing market conditions". There are limited exceptions to this rule, such as productivity value for agricultural land. Each property must have a single appraised value. All property is taxable unless federal or state law exempts it from taxation. Property owners have the right to reasonable notice of increases in the appraised value of their property. The Bastrop Central Appraisal District was created by the Texas Legislature in 1979. Senate Bill 621 required that an appraisal district be established in each county for the purpose of appraising property for ad valorem tax purposes. Appraisal districts are local government political subdivisions of the state responsible for appraising property with county boundaries. Prior to the creation of central appraisal districts, each taxing unit followed their own appraisal standards and practices. Values were inaccurate and inequitable. Property owners were required to visit multiple taxing units to resolve any disputes concerning property value. Under the current system, taxpayers only have to go to one place to take care of appraisal business. By law, an appraisal district is to be managed by a professional staff with training and education prescribed by the State of Texas. Appraisers are registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration and must complete courses and exams to become a Registered Professional Appraiser. 1

BUDGET INFORMATION The budget for 2014 in the amount of $1,565,839 was submitted to the Board of Directors and approved in September, 2013. The total number of employees was 19. The total expenditures for the year were $1,497,060 leaving a surplus of $53,137. That was added to the prior surplus of $19,775 bring to total available surplus to $72,912. Numerous lawsuits are pending and the surplus is being retained to pay legal fees to legal representation. THE APPRAISAL PROCESS Real estate and most business personal property in Bastrop County is appraised by the inhouse staff. Appraisers inspect properties, measure improvements, and class improvements based on the quality of construction, and estimate depreciation. The data is entered into a Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) software which produces estimated values of each parcel in Bastrop County based on statistical criteria. The district hires a professional appraisal company (Capitol Appraisal Group) to appraise complex properties requiring engineering experience such as power plants, utility systems, and oil and gas production. EXEMPTIONS The district administers various exemptions that taxpayers may qualify for including Homestead and Over 65 residential exemptions. A homestead may include up to 20 acres of land if actually used in the residential use (occupancy) of the home. To qualify for a homestead exemption, a taxpayer must own and reside in the home on January 1 of the tax year. The age 65 or older or disability exemption for school taxes includes a school tax limitation or ceiling. Some taxing units such as county and cities have exemptions and tax ceilings limits. The filing of this application is between January 1 and April 30 but applications may be filed no later than one year after the date taxes become delinquent. There is also a Transfer of Tax Limitation or Ceiling Certificate if a person moves out of the county. Other exemptions include disabled veteran exemption, special types of property such as solar equipment, and complete exemptions for organizations qualifying as charities and notforprofits. AGRICULTURAL 1D1 OPEN SPACE AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT Rural property owners may apply for a designation of agricultural use valuation if they use their property for the commercial production of crops or livestock. The basis of taxation is based on the agricultural income to the property and is substantially less than the market value taxation. If the property changes to a residential or commercial use, taxes are rolled back five years and collected with interest. Wildlife management is also available if the property has been previously granted agricultural use. Wildlife management requires a plan with various activities on the parcel to enhance the growth and preservation of various types of wildlife. PTAD REVIEWS Appraisal practices are governed by the Texas Property Tax Code and rules established by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. The Property Tax Assistance Division conducts a Property Value Study and a Methods and Assistance Program review in alternating years. Results of both reviews are available on the Comptroller's website and in this report as addendum. The Property Value Study is conducted by the State Comptroller's Office to estimate the taxable property value in each school district to measure the performance of Appraisal Districts. If the Appraisal District is within a 5% percent margin the State Comptroller will certify the local value to the Commissioner of Education. The 2

findings of the study are used in the school funding formula for state aid. If the District fails to appraise properties within the 5% margin of error and continues to fail to do that for two years, the schools of Bastrop County are subjected to reduced state funding through the Texas Education Agency. APPEALS OF VALUE State law allows taxpayers to appeal their property values or other issues such as denial of full exemption, denial of agricultural value designation, or other issues that impact amounts of property taxes paid. The appeals are heard by the Appraisal Review Board (ARB), a citizens group comprised of seven local people from across the County. In 2014, 2693 appeals were filed by owners or agents of properties in the County. The values appeals totaled $345,043,138. Seventeen hundred fiftythree properties were scheduled for hearings before the ARB. 3

MAP METHODS AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAM 2013 REPORT Bastrop Central Appraisal District Susan Combs Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts

January 22, 2014 Chief Appraiser County Appraisal District Board of Directors Superintendents School District Boards of Trustees Ladies and Gentlemen: In 2009, the Texas Legislature enacted a new law that amended Tax Code Section 5.102. It requires the Comptroller of Public Accounts to review appraisal districts every two years. Called the Methods and Assistance Program (MAP), the reviews study the governance, taxpayer assistance, operating procedures and the appraisal standards, procedures and methodology of each appraisal district. The Property Tax Assistance Division (PTAD) performed the reviews for 125 appraisal districts in 2013. Your appraisal district s MAP report is enclosed and includes an assessment of how well your appraisal district performs. It may include recommendations that will allow your appraisal district to comply with laws, rules, regulations, appraisal practices or operating best practices. If recommendations are offered, they must be implemented within one year from the release of this report. Recommendations that are not complete, or not substantially complete, by that time will result in notification to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). The appraisal district will have another year to complete the outstanding recommendations. Recommendations still incomplete after one year could result in sanctions. The Comptroller s office is committed to supporting the MAP review process and helping appraisal districts comply with existing laws, rules and regulations. PTAD will work with appraisal districts to improve their operations and to comply with each recommendation. We want to thank the chief appraiser, board chairman and the staff of the appraisal district for their help in making this new program a success. For more information about the Property Tax Assistance Division, please see our website at www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/proptax/. If you have questions about your review, please feel free to contact Steve Atkinson, Methods and Assistance Program supervisor, at 18882073668 or steve.atkinson@cpa.state.tx.us.
