Note 2 - Property zoned residential but being used primarily for other
purposes will be treated as "all other property".
Note 3 - Appropriate credit for existing curb, gutter, and sidewalk will
be granted depending on the amount of repair and realignment required.
Note 4 - Vacant land and/or lots are assessed at "all other property" rate.
These properties are considered as investments regardless of the zoning
classification or what they are being used for.
The percentage figures cited above are general in nature and
the council reserves the right to adjust the actual dollar amounts within
the limits allowed by Texas Law from project to project in accordance
with the relative value added to the assessed property. In the absence
of substantial evidence to the contrary, the primary factor in determining
the value added to abutting property will be the cost of the improvements.
