| ARB Information |
The county facility, leased to the Central Appraisal District underwent extensive renovations during March and April and informants meeting with any of the agents were postponed due to lack of space. The main build out was not fully released to the district until April 26; therefore, appraisal notices were held and mailed the latter part of April. The new Appraisal Review Board (ARB) building was completed and the occupancy permit issued the first of June. The number of hearings the ARB facilitates rises each year. In 2008, four ARB panels heard 1097 protests; in 2009, panels heard 1801 protests. In 2010, the ARB expanded to even panels facilitating 10,426 hearings; in 2011, the ARB facilitated 10,995 hearings; and in 2012, the ARB heard 15,729 hearings. In 2013, the ARB expanded to nine panels hearing 24,460 protests. In 2014, a separate building was constructed, by the county, to facilitate the ARB's expansion to ten panels--which as of December 16, 2014, held 22,690 hearings with 5,616 remaining.

Rent restricted properties vary widely. These variations can have an affect on the valuation of the property. A basic capitalization rate of 9.85% will be used to value these properties; although adjustments may be made based on the individual property characteristics and the information provided to the chief appraiser as required under Sections 11.182 (d) and (g), Property Tax Code.
