(JOINT RESOLUTION)
WHEREAS, the Dallas Central Appraisal District recently reappraised
property in the Town of Highland Park, City of University Park, and
the Highland Park Independent School District; and
WHEREAS, such real property appraisal was developed from an
analysis of trends based on an inflationary and somewhat
speculative environment which developed in recent years; and
WHEREAS, real property values in these taxing entities steadily
declined since that time; and
WHEREAS, inequities existing in the initial reappraisal overvalued
some real property and undervalued other real property of like kind
and value; and
WHEREAS, reappraisal appeals were handled by multiple review panels
which responded differently to similar requests; and
WHEREAS, such differential treatment of appeals has compounded the
inequity which exists between and within various classes of real
property; and
WHEREAS, real property in a significant number of cases is not
valued in an equal and uniform manner related to other real
property within the entities and those of Dallas County:
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the undersigned request the Dallas
Central Appraisal District review the status of real property in
these entities related to current market value and conduct a
comprehensive study and reappraisal of all property in the Town of
Highland Park, City of University Park, and the Highland Park
Independent School District which shall be effective for the 1987
tax year; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Dallas Central Appraisal District
in order to promote equal and uniform treatment assign one review
panel to handle all real property value appeals from real property
owners with our jurisdiction; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that these requests be made to the Dallas
Central Appraisal District at the October meeting of its Board of
Directors with appreciation expressed for the assistance and
consideration given by DCAD Director Foy Mitchell and his staff.

RESOLUTION NO. 86-27
WHEREAS, under the Texas Property Tax Code an appraisal
district is charged with the duty of appraising all property in the
district at its fair market value in each tax year; and
WHEREAS, the most accurate indicia of fair market value is
the prices at which comparable properties are bought and sold in
the open market; and
WHEREAS, the lack of sales information substantially limits
an appraisal district's ability to accurately appraise comparable
properties and creates a risk that certain properties may be
erroneously appraised; and
WHEREAS, in many instances the characteristics and qualities
of a particular property make it comparable to only a very few
properties which have been brought and sold in the open market; and
WHEREAS, in these instances an appraisal district may need
information about the price at which a particular property has been
sold in order to accurately appraise comparable property; and
WHEREAS, an amendment to the Texas Property Tax Code
providing for the disclosure to appraisal districts by the parties
to a sale of property of the sales price or other consideration
paid for the property would enable appraisal districts to more
accurately appraise properties with uncommon characteristics and
qualities; and
WHEREAS, an amendment to the Texas Property Tax Code could
make confidential any information about sales of property disclosed
to an appraisal district un~er a. provision calling for such
disclosure thus eliminating any prejudice to the party disclosing
the information;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of University
Park, Texas, that the Texas Legislature, the taxing units of the
State, and other interested parties be urged and requested to
consider the potential advantages of amending the Texas Property
Tax Code to provide for the disclosure to appraisal districts by
the parties to a sale of property of the sales price or other
consideration paid for the property; and

WHEREAS, Section 23.01 of the Texas Property Tax Code directs
that all taxable property be appraised at its market value as of
January 1st of each tax year; and
WHEREAS, Sections 25.01 and 25.22 of the Texas Property Tax
Code direct each appraisal district to prepare the appraisal
records listing the appraised value of all taxable property in the
district and to submit the completed appraisal records to the
appraisal review board by May 15th of each tax year; and
WHEREAS, Section 41.12 of the Texas Property Tax Code directs
an appraisal review board to complete its review of the appraisal
records by July 20th of each tax year; and
WHEREAS, the appraisal schedule prescribed the Texas Property
Tax Code requires appraisal districts to concentrate their most
important work in the early months of each year; and
WHEREAS, the deadlines prescribed by the Texas Property Tax
Code impose substantial pressures upon appraisal districts and
often do not permit them to meet the highest standards of
thoroughness and accuracy in the appraisal of property; and
WHEREAS, the appraisal schedule prescribed by the Texas
Property Tax Code requires.an appraisal review..board.to concentrate
its vital task of hearing and determining property owners' protests
into a relatively short period of time each year; and
WHEREAS, the deadlines prescribed by the Texas Property Tax
Code impose substantial pressure upon appraisal review boards and
often do not permit them to review each property owner's protest
with the degree of thoughtful deliberation which each property
owner deserves; and
WHEREAS, with an appraisal date of the first day of November
preceding each tax year, the appraisal districts and appraisal
review boards could begin the performance of their statutory duties
each year, and could be assured of having adequate time to perform
their duties without the pressure which can sometimes compromise
the quality of their performance; and
WHEREAS, an amendment to the Texas Property Tax Code to
provide for the appraisal of property at its market value on the
first day of November preceding each tax year would improve the ad
valorem tax appraisal process in Texas without prejudice to the
interest of any person.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of University Park:
That the Texas Legislature be requested and urged to
amend the Texas Property Tax Code to provide for the
appraisal of property at its market value on the first
day of November preceding each year; and
That the taxing units of the State of Texas and all
interested parties be requested and urged to support such
an amendment to the Texas Property Tax Code; and
