School District Taxable Property Value Perspectives for 2000 to 2010 PDF Print E-mail

8/23/11

The charts below show taxable property values by category for tax year 2010, in addition to changes from tax year 2000 to tax year 2010, as reported in the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' annual School and Appraisal Districts' Property Value Study.  The values reported in the annual Study by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts are used by the Texas Education Agency for Foundation School Program (FSP) state aid calculations and distributions of state revenues to school districts.  As explained in the Texas Education Agency's publication School Finance 101: Funding of Texas Public Schools (Revised January 2011), increases in local property values were offset by decreases in state aid revenues during each state funding biennium, in most instances, in accordance with Foundation School Program state aid calculation provisions in the Education Code.
