Bill > HB1767

This bill modifies the Texas Tax Code to require taxing units (local government entities that can levy property taxes) to publish a summary of their ad valorem (property) tax-related information in local newspapers by August 7th each year, along with the specific web address where detailed information can be found online. The requirement does not apply to taxing units located in counties with populations of one million or more, or in counties without a newspaper of general circulation. Specifically, the designated officer or employee of the taxing unit must publish a summary of the tax information that is already required to be posted on the unit's website, including the exact URL where that information can be accessed. The changes will apply to ad valorem tax years beginning on or after the bill's effective date of January 1, 2026, which is intended to give local governments time to prepare for the new notification requirements.
