Dear Chairman Clark and Chief Appraiser South:
This letter constitutes the Comptroller’s follow-up report of the Appraisal Standards Review (ASR) of Hunt County Appraisal District (Hunt CAD) originally released in December 2005. We commend the cooperation of Hunt CAD’s board, chief appraiser and staff in conducting this follow-up review.
CADs play an integral part in setting property values because they have the statutory responsibility for determining local property values, which in turn affect funding to public schools.
The ASR made 10 recommendations to help Hunt CAD achieve accurate local value in the annual Property Value Study (PVS) and improve operations. We have reviewed the implementation of the recommendations and have concluded that Hunt CAD has completed all 10 and is therefore in compliance with Property Tax Code Section 5.102.
This report is available on our Window on State Government Web site at www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/proptax/cadreports/asr/hunt01/.
Although you have implemented all of the recommendations stemming from the 2003 PVS, you have requalified for a new ASR as the result of the findings of the 2006 PVS. We will be working with you and your staff to complete the new ASR over the course of the coming year.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Susan Combs
