6/27/12

This week, Texas Attorney General Opinion No. GA-0954 (2012) was issued on "Calculation of a county's rollback tax rate."

The Summary to the Opinion states: 

"Chapter 26 of the Tax Code authorizes a petition for a rollback election when the sum of a county's individually adopted tax rates exceeds the combined rollback rate, but under chapter 26's plain terms, the right to petition for a rollback election is not automatically triggered when a county adopts a rate for a particular tax that is above the rollback rate for that particular tax."
