Tax Board Raises Texas Ad Valorem Rate to Constitutional Limit
The State Automatic Tax Board met in Austin on July 29 and raised the 1922 ad valorem tax rate from 22 to 35 cents per $100, increasing the overall rate from 62 to 75 cents. The board cited reduced assessed valuations and oil revenue, plus higher delinquent taxes, as reasons, saying less than 35 cents would inadequately fund public services and schools. Affected totals include an estimated 1922 property valuation of $3.35 billion.
