Relating to the ability of a school district to request an appraisal of property by the appraisal district.

HB 4742 allows Texas school districts to request property reappraisals from their local appraisal districts. If an appraisal district hasn't reappraised property in a tax year, a school district can adopt a resolution requiring the appraisal office to complete a reappraisal within 30 days of the request. The school district must pay the appraisal district for the cost of the reappraisal, and the appraisal office must provide sufficient personnel to meet the deadline. This bill directly affects school districts and appraisal districts by establishing a formal process for property value reassessment in tax years without existing reappraisals. The law takes effect January 1, 2026.
