Bill > SB1106

This bill enhances transparency for public improvement districts (PIDs) by requiring municipalities and counties to publish service plans and assessment information online and provide detailed assessment data to local appraisal districts. Specifically, within seven days of approving or updating a service plan, local governments must post the plan and a required notice form on their official website. Additionally, when levying an assessment for a public improvement district, governing bodies must submit a comprehensive assessment roll to the relevant appraisal districts, including details such as the total assessment levied against each property, annual assessment amount, and periodic installment amounts. The bill also mandates that these assessment rolls be submitted in an electronic format that can be incorporated into the appraisal district's property tax database. Furthermore, the bill requires appraisal district property tax databases to include specific information about public improvement districts for each property, such as the district's name, total assessment, annual assessment, and installment amounts. These changes aim to increase public access to information about local improvement districts and provide more transparency in how properties are assessed for special district services. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
