BRAZORIA COUNTY
ANGLETQN, TEXAS
June W, 1975
Dear Taxpayer:
The Tax office has completed their first part of a four year plan for the
Maintaining of values for the purpose of State and County Taxation in
Brazoria County.
The area which has been reappraised for 1975 taxes includes Pearland
and Alvin School Districts. These areas were not chosen for any other reason
than they were the subject of a new mapping system, which gave usthe tools
needed to make the reappraisal.
The schedules used for this reappraisal were prepared as of January 1, 1974 by
finding out the building cost and land sales prices. This value will be left
unchanged for approximately four years, unless the State Legislature enacts
Legislation requiring a revaluation yearly. The next Districts that we will do
in this program will be reappraised with schedules prepared as of January 1,1975.
This means that you will be assessed on values based on 1974 prices until 1978.
And the value for the next 1/4 of the County will be based on cost and sales
prices prepared in 1975 until 1979.
A County wide revaluation yearly would cost more to accomplish than the
increase value derived. Therefore we are using this four year program.
The average increase in taxes for each Residental property, will be approximately
$5,000 Market Value, or $1,000 assessed value. The tax rate for this area for 1974
is $1.77 per 100 valuation. Therefore the increase for an average house and lot
would be $1.48 per month or approximately $17.70 per year in tax dollars.
EXHIBIT "A"
The land values increased substantially more than the Residential property.
This could have been because of increased Market Value, additional roads,
and numerous inequalities in the last reappraisal.
I feel the Brazoria County tax office has done a good job in this Maintenance
Program of equalizating and maintaining the values. I also know that you
are not in favor of paying more taxes as I am not. But this is my job and I have
to do it as fair and equal as possible with the funds and people available.
hope you will feel free to discuss any problems you have with this program,
because we are here to serve you even though we have to tax you.
You truly,
ay M. Cornett, CTA
