RULE §9.1055Comptroller Application Review and Agreement to Limit Appraised Value

    (C) the project proposed by the applicant is reasonably likely to generate tax revenue in an amount sufficient to offset the school district maintenance and operations ad valorem tax revenue lost as a result of the agreement before the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the limitation period; and

    (D) the limitation on appraised value is a determining factor in the applicant's decision to invest capital and construct the project in this state;

  (4) not later than 90 days after written notice that the school district and the comptroller have determined that applicant has submitted a completed application that is eligible for a limitation of appraised value under Tax Code, §313.025(b), provide to the school district:

    (A) an economic impact evaluation as required pursuant to Tax Code, §313.025(b);

    (B) the comptroller's conclusion for each made pursuant to paragraph (3) of this subsection; and

    (C) one of the three following:

      (i) a comptroller certificate for a limitation;

      (ii) a comptroller certificate for a limitation, subject to:

        (I) conditions identified in the comptroller certificate for a limitation being completed prior to execution of the agreement; or

        (II) the agreement including additional provisions as identified in the comptroller certificate for a limitation; or

      (iii) a written explanation of the comptroller's decision not to issue a certificate.

(e) Action after agreement review. No later than 20 business days after receiving an agreement for limitation on appraised value acceptable to an applicant, the comptroller:

  (1) shall review the agreement for:

    (A) compliance with Tax Code, Chapter 313, and this subchapter; and

    (B) consistency with the application submitted to the comptroller and as amended or supplemented;

  (2) may amend or withdraw the comptroller certificate for a limitation if the comptroller determines that the agreement as submitted by the applicant does not comply with Tax Code, Chapter 313 or this subchapter or that the agreement contains provisions that are not consistent with or represents information significantly different from that presented in the application as submitted to the comptroller; and

  (3) provide written notification to the school district of the actions taken under this subsection.

(f) Application changes after the notice of completed application. If the comptroller receives an amended application or a supplemental application by an applicant after the comptroller has prepared or sent written notice that applicant has submitted a completed application, the comptroller shall:

  (1) reject the amended application, supplemental application, or application, in whole or in part, and discontinue consideration of any submission by applicant;

  (2) with the written concurrence of the school district, consider the completed application, as amended or supplemented, before the 91st day from application review start date; or

  (3) review the documents submitted by applicant and complete the requirements according to subsection (d) of this section.

(g) Applications and agreements for deferred qualifying time period. When an eligible completed application for an agreement for limitation on appraised value requests to begin the qualifying time period after the date that the application is approved, the comptroller:

  (1) to the extent possible, shall prepare the economic impact analysis for an estimated impact of the qualified investment during the proposed qualifying time period;

  (2) if an appraised value limitation agreement which defers the time at which the qualifying time period starts for more than one year is executed, may request at any time prior to the commencement of the qualifying time period additional information to revise the economic impact analysis for the qualified investment; and

  (3) based on the revised economic impact analysis, may revise the comptroller certificate for a limitation that was previously submitted, or determine to not issue such a certificate; and

  (4) if a revised comptroller certificate for a limitation is prepared, or a determination is made not to issue such a certificate, shall provide the revised comptroller certificate for a limitation, or a written explanation of the decision not to issue such certificate, and revised economic impact analysis to the school district and approved applicant.
