Dear Chairman Myrick and Chief Appraiser Smithson:
Cooke County Appraisal District (Cooke CAD) has completed all the recommendations made in the original Appraisal Standards Review released in January 2006, including those that remained outstanding with the release of the one-year follow-up report in May 2007. Cooke CAD is therefore in compliance with Property Tax Code Section 5.102.
It is important to keep appraisal practices up-to-date and consistent with requirements of Texas law and generally accepted appraisal standards. This helps achieve local market value and ensures all property owners in the Cooke CAD receive uniform and equitable treatment.
We congratulate Cooke CAD’s board and staff for their work.
Sincerely,
Susan Combs
