Dear Chairman Flores and Chief Appraiser Sanchez:
This letter constitutes the Comptroller’s follow-up report of the Appraisal Standards Review (ASR) of Uvalde County Appraisal District (Uvalde CAD) originally released in August 2007. We commend the cooperation of Uvalde 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 four mandatory recommendations and six optional recommendations to help Uvalde 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 Uvalde CAD has completed implementing the mandatory recommendations. Uvalde CAD has also completed four of the six optional recommendations and has made great progress toward completing the remaining optional recommendations. Uvalde CAD 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/uvalde01/.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Susan Combs
