Oil Firms Hit By Four Year Appraisal Delay In Texas

JA Dale Cummings, tax representative for Amoco, argues the four year appraisal cycle burdens oil and gas firms in Ector County. He notes real estate is taxed on 1976 appraisals while oil and gas assets use 1981 appraisals, with oil valued at 7 dollars per barrel in 1976 and 38 today. He proposes biennial reappraisals to improve equity, echoed by Odessa’s finance director Neves Hinds. The move follows 1979 centralized appraisal districts, unifying city, ECISD, and county offices. ECISD trustees vetoed the appraisal board budget minutes after nominating three candidates for the 1982 board: Bill Turner, Gary Whitehead, and Charles Walker.
