| relating to a request for binding arbitration to appeal appraisal | ||

| land. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 41A.03(a-1), Tax Code, is amended to | ||
| read as follows: | ||
| (a-1) If a property owner requests binding arbitration | ||
| under this chapter to appeal appraisal review board orders | ||
| involving two or more contiguous tracts of land that are owned by | ||
| the property owner [ |
||
| arbitration deposit in the amount provided by Subsection (a)(2) is | ||
| sufficient to satisfy the requirement of Subsection (a)(2). For | ||
| purposes of this subsection, "contiguous tracts of land" means | ||
| improved or unimproved tracts of land that are touching or that | ||
| share a common boundary, as determined using appraisal district | ||
| records or legal descriptions of the tracts. | ||
| SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to | ||
| a request for binding arbitration under Chapter 41A, Tax Code, that | ||
| is filed on or after the effective date of this Act. A request for | ||
| binding arbitration under Chapter 41A, Tax Code, that is filed | ||
| before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in | ||
| effect on the date the request is filed, and the former law is | ||
| continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
| a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
| provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
| Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
| Act takes effect September 1, 2019. | ||
