Preamble

Texas Admin Code Rule

(a)If a qualified residential structure for which the owner receives an exemption under Tax Code, §11.13, is rendered uninhabitable or unusable under the conditions described in Tax Code, §11.135(a), the owner is entitled to a continuation of the exemptions for so long as the requirements of Tax Code, §11.135(a) are met. The chief appraiser shall continue the exemptions without the owner being required to file any form or request for the continuation.

(b)If the chief appraiser determines that the property owner has not complied with the provisions of Tax Code, §11.135(a), the chief appraiser shall follow the notice and billing requirements of Tax Code, §11.135(c) as though the property had been sold before the owner completed construction of a qualified replacement structure on the property.

(c)A property owner receiving a continuation of an exemption under Tax Code, §11.135, shall notify the appraisal office within 30 days after the date that eligibility for the continuation ends.

This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's legal authority to adopt.
