Glenn Hegar | Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts*Elected in November 2014, Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar is a vigilant steward of Texas tax dollars and a strong advocate for job growth in our economy. As a staunch supporter of government transparency, Hegar believes all levels of government should be open and accountable to those who pay the bills — Texas taxpayers.
The Property Tax Assistance Division (the division of the Comptroller's office that relates to our agency) The Property Tax Assistance Division (PTAD) conducts and publishes a property value study (PVS), of all school districts and county appraisal districts. The study determines the value on which Texas school districts receive funding from the state and is very important to maintaining an equitable school finance system. PTAD also conducts the Methods and Assistance Program (MAP) to review the governance, taxpayer assistance, operating procedures and appraisal standards, procedures and methodology of each county appraisal district every two years. PTAD administers statewide binding arbitration for property owners who qualify for arbitration. It also provides training for newly appointed appraisal review board (ARB) members, as well as annual continuing education training for existing ARB members. PTAD provides information on property tax issues to taxpayers, property owners, appraisal districts, appraisal review boards, taxing units, other state agencies, and the Legislature. By state law, however, neither PTAD nor the Comptroller's office have any direct jurisdiction over county appraisal districts or appraisal review boards and can only act in a technical assistance role.
