Digest
HB 4478 mandates appraisal districts to publicly post the methodology used to develop capitalization rates for appraising low-income housing properties for ad valorem tax purposes. The bill requires a reasonable opportunity for public comment before the capitalization rate is finalized and prohibits setting the rate solely based on a percentage change from the prior year. Instead, the methodology must incorporate viable economic metrics for the local market​.
