Dear Chairman Riddle and Chief Appraiser Moore:
This letter constitutes the Comptroller’s follow-up report of the Appraisal Standards Review (ASR) of Jackson County Appraisal District (Jackson CAD) originally released in March 2007. We commend the cooperation of Jackson 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 nine recommendations to help Jackson CAD achieve accurate local value in the annual Property Value Study and improve operations. We have reviewed the implementation of the recommendations and have concluded that Jackson CAD has completed the recommendations and is therefore in compliance with Property Tax Code Section 5.102.
This letter is available on our Window on State Government Web site at www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/proptax/cadreports/asr/jackson01/.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Susan Combs
