IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS
Chapter 23, Subchapter G, Texas Property Tax Code, provides for the special appraisal of public access airport property.
You are entitled to have land you own appraised under this subchapter if, on January 1: (1) the property is restricted as provided by this
subchapter; (2) the property has been devoted exclusively to use as public access airport property for the preceding year; and (3) you are
using and intend to use the property exclusively as public access airport property in the current year.
You must complete this application in full and le it with the chief appraiser before May 1 of the year you are applying for public access airport
property appraisal. For good cause shown the chief appraiser may extend the deadline for ling the application by written order for a single
period not to exceed 60 days. To be accepted, this form must contain information necessary to determine the validity of the claim. If your
application is approved, you do not need to le again in later years unless the chief appraiser requests a new application. The chief appraiser
may disapprove the application and request additional information. The chief appraiser may deny the application and you may protest that
determination to the county appraisal review board in a timely manner. If the chief appraiser requests additional information from an applicant,
the information must be furnished within 30 days after the date of the request, or the application is denied. For good cause shown, the chief ap-
praiser may extend the deadline for furnishing the information by written order for a single 15 day period.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Once restricted use appraisal for public access airport property is allowed, an application does not have to be led annually during the term of
the deed restriction, unless the ownership of the land changes or eligibility for the appraisal ends. However, the chief appraiser may require a
new application to be led to conrm that the land is currently eligible for the special appraisal by sending written notice and an application form.
If eligibility for the restricted use appraisal ends, the property owner must notify the appraisal ofce in writing before May 1 after the eligibility
ends.
If restricted use appraisal is allowed for the property, a rollback in taxes will be imposed on the property for each of the ve years preceding the
year in which a change in the use occurs or the deed restriction expires.
