2009 Appraisal Roll Certified to Harris County Jurisdictions
HOUSTON—Jim Robinson, the Harris County Appraisal District’s chief appraiser, announced today that the 2009 appraisal roll has been certified to the various taxing jurisdictions in Harris County. The certification process permits the elected officials of those jurisdictions to move forward with the process of adopting 2009 tax rates. Unlike prior years where most jurisdictions have seen substantial growth in their tax base, such was not the case for 2009. “For Harris County as a whole, the overall taxable value, including new construction, rose from $281.5 billion in 2008 to just over $284.2 billion this year—an increase of just under 1%,” Robinson said. For the City of Houston, overall taxable values increased by only .44% from last year and the Houston Independent School District fared only slightly better with an overall increase of just .81%. Values for each year are determined by market conditions on January 1. Robinson noted that some properties have continued to decline in value since January 1, 2009, but those changes can’t be taken into account until HCAD conducts its next reappraisal in 2010. The tax base changes are shown as follows on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis including school districts, cities, and community colleges. HCAD Taxable Value Comparison: 2008-2009 | tr>
