Relating to the confidentiality of certain home address information in property tax appraisal records.
SB 1463 protects the home address confidentiality of specific individuals in Texas property tax records. It allows qualified people - including law enforcement officers, their families, victims of family violence or sexual assault, federal/state judges, prosecutors, and child protective services workers - to request that their home addresses be redacted from public property tax appraisal records. To qualify, individuals must provide documentation like protective orders or proof of their status. The bill amends the Tax Code to require counties to honor these confidentiality requests for the listed groups. This policy change directly affects how sensitive address information is handled in public property records.
