Dear Chairman Dennis and Chief Appraiser Benson:
This letter constitutes the Comptroller’s follow-up report of the Appraisal Standards Review (ASR) of Tom Green County Appraisal District (Tom Green CAD) originally released in May 2006. We commend the cooperation of Tom Green 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 11 recommendations to help Tom Green 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 Tom Green CAD has completed implementing the recommendations and therefore complies 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/tomgreen01/.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Susan Combs
