Relating to the name of an appraisal district.
HB 4715 requires Texas property tax appraisal districts to use specific naming formats based on county code numbers instead of county names. It mandates that all districts be named "Appraisal District #X" (where X is the county code), while consolidated districts covering multiple counties must list all participating codes (e.g., "Appraisal District #123 and #456"). The bill prohibits using any county name in district titles and takes effect September 1, 2025. This procedural change directly affects all 254 Texas appraisal districts managing property valuations for tax purposes.
