| id | label | note |
|---|---|---|
| tx-ceiling-recalculation | Ceiling recalculation after an exemption amount or compressed rate changes | The exact recalculation arithmetic and a worked example were not independently verified against a CAD. Do not publish a specific worked-dollar example until confirmed. |
| tx-county-local-options-pending | Local-option 65+ exemption amounts for Collin, Denton, Williamson, and Montgomery counties | Not independently confirmed against each county's commissioners court / appraisal district records as of 2026-09-01. Leads exist (a 2025 Collin County tax-rate-summary PDF that returned 403 on fetch, a Williamson County local-option increase per a 2019 Patch article that is now stale, a Montgomery County Commissioners Court vote to $50,000 per a March 2023 Community Impact article) but none were confirmed against a current, directly-fetched primary source in this pass. Do not publish a dollar figure for these counties until hand-verified. |
| tx-appraisal-districts-count | Number of appraisal districts in Texas | The Comptroller's own county directory (comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/) lists 254 numbered county entries (001 Anderson through 254 Zavala), matching Texas's 254 counties -- confirmed directly on 2026-09-01. However, that page does not itself state a distinct 'appraisal district' count, and a secondary source (a Texas Legislature fiscal note) separately put the number of appraisal districts at 253, which would make sense if any two counties share a consolidated appraisal district. Whether the district count is 253 or 254 was not resolved with a single source stating it directly -- do not publish either number as the appraisal-district count until a Comptroller page states it explicitly. |
| tx-prop11-vote-pct | Proposition 11 exact vote percentage | Secondary sources put approval around 78% but disagree at the second decimal. Pull the official canvass from the Texas Secretary of State before publishing an exact percentage. |
