San Antonio Builder Criticizes Tax Valuation Rules
Zackry and Jim Aptmore urged the county Board of Tax Equalization to value commercial property by earnings rather than replacement cost. The Hilton Palacio del Rio on the River Walk saw its $8.4 million valuation cut as losses mounted. The board reviewed 29 properties amid hearings on about 1,100 valuations and rejected $666,340 in discounts from the school reappraisal program.

He plans to continue opposing the utility involvement in nuclear programs.

Installment Taxes Well It's The Law
Tax time brings a little known 1939 statute allowing half of property taxes to be paid by November 30 with the remaining half due by the following June 30. Penalties rise if late, and some counties struggle with the cost of handling split payments. Local officials note most taxpayers do not use the option, and discounts apply for late-year payments.
