Land value data was collected yearly by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Property Tax Assistance Division. </SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>Retrieved from: </SPAN><A href="https://comptroller.texas.gov:443/taxes/property-tax/ag-timber/index.php" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>comptroller.texas.gov</SPAN></A><SPAN>. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (Texas Property Tax Assistance Division) produces an annual compilation of land use and land value data from all ISDs. This data set represents all private lands designated as 1-D and 1-D-1 appraisal status for all Texas ISDs. A 1-D agricultural use (Assessments of Lands Designated for Agricultural Use) status refers to lands devoted to full time agricultural operations where the owner’s primary occupation and source of income is derived from agricultural enterprises. In contrast, a 1-D-1 open space status (Taxation of Certain Open Space Land) designates lands based solely on the primary use of the land with no consideration for the landowner’s income or occupation. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The original land use categories and metrics obtained from the Comptroller include: </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>D1 (qualified) irrigated cropland (# of acres) </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>D1 (qualified) dry cropland (# of acres) </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>D1 (qualified) barren / wasteland (# of acres) </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>D1 (qualified) orchards (# of acres) </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>D1 (qualified) improved pasture (# of acres) </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>D1 (qualified) native pasture (# of acres) </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>D1 (qualified) timber @ productivity (# of acres) </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>D1 (qualified) restricted-use timber (# of acres) </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>D1 (qualified) timber-in-transition (# of acres) </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>D1 (qualified) timber @ 78 market (# of acres) </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>D1 (qualified) other ag land (# of acres) </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>D1 (qualified) wildlife management (# of acres) </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>The Comptroller's Property Tax Assistance Division (PTAD) conducts the property value study (PVS) to estimate a school district's taxable property value. The results of the PVS can affect a school district's state funding. The Commissioner of Education uses the PVS results to ensure equitable distribution of education funds so school districts have roughly the same number of dollars to spend per student, regardless of the school district's property wealth. Government Code Section 403.302 requires the Comptroller's office to conduct a study to determine the total taxable value of all property in each school district at least once every two years. </SPAN><SPAN>See </SPAN><A href="https://tools.nri.tamu.edu:443/confluence/display/TLT/Texas+Land+Trends+Guide" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>Texas Land Trends Guide </SPAN></A><SPAN>for more info. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |

It is NRI’s policy to operate this project based on scientifically and statistically developed principles and protocols. Inherent to this policy is our necessity to maintain and protect the integrity, validity, and security of our data, analyses, and processes.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>NRI has dedicated significant resources to develop the methodology used to create our Texas Land Trends database, and do not share shapefiles or raw data with external entities. However, public usability and access to this data has been a cornerstone of Texas Land Trends, leading to the creation of our innovative Data Explorer tool. Users can explore specific areas of interest (e.g., counties or ecoregions) or view statewide trends, with results presented through tables, charts, graphs, and maps alongside informative text to help explain common trends. This web tool allows users to visualize the data and even download select graphics. See our About the Data page for all data sources and descriptions.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
