Relating to the authority of the officer or employee designated by the governing body of a municipality to calculate certain ad valorem tax rates of the municipality to recalculate those rates.

HB 5161 requires Texas municipalities to have a designated officer recalculate their property tax rates after receiving the certified property appraisal roll. The officer must use specific forms from the comptroller, certify that calculations match the appraisal values, and cannot submit rates for approval until this certification is complete. Municipalities must then publicly post the calculation forms online for the past five tax years. This bill directly affects all Texas cities and towns that set property tax rates, ensuring their calculations align with official property valuations before final adoption.
