Relating to a requirement that an appraisal district rely on an appraisal of real property prepared by an appraiser and submitted to the district by the property owner when determining the value of the property.

HB 1766 requires Texas appraisal districts to use a property owner's submitted appraisal when determining a parcel's tax value, if the appraisal meets specific criteria. Property owners must provide a valid appraisal from a licensed appraiser (prepared between December 1 and March 1 of the tax year), include required details like property description and valuation date, and submit it to the district by April 1. Owners must also notify the district of their intent to submit an appraisal by November 30 of the prior year. The bill applies only to tax years beginning on or after September 1, 2025, and does not change how districts appraise properties when owners do not submit appraisals.
