Box 920975 Houston, TX 77292-0975 Preliminary Report of Appraised & Taxable Values (Prior to Hearings) Tax Year 2006 May 21,2006 RECEIVED HONORABLE ALTON PORTER MAYOR CITY OF LAPORTE 604 W FAIRMONT PKWY LA PORTE TX 77571-6215 I JUN 1 2006 La Porte Tax Office DEAR MAYOR PORTER: This preliminary information on appraised and taxable values for 2006 may be useful to you for planning purposes. This data does not take potential protest hearing, late exemption and ag-use application, or correction motion value loss into account. Your final 2006 values will be lower than the numbers listed below. Initial Appraised Value $ 2,215,184,235 (excluding Mineral Category G and Utility Personal Property Category J) Initial Taxable Value $ 1,820,944,912 (excluding Mineral Category G and Utility Personal Property Category J) The attached recap report summarizes your preliminary 2006 data. Valuation is currently incomplete on mineral accounts, personal property category J and category L. Accordingly, 2006 values listed for these categories are incomplete. Our best estimate of your 2006 utility Personal Property Category J values from Capitol Appraisal Group will be made available to you when valuation is complete. Preliminary 2006 personal property data Category G, Personal Property Category J and the remainder of Category L values will be made available when valuation is complete. The appraisal review board begins holding 2006 hearings on May 30. To assist you in estimating value loss due to hearings, we will periodically prepare a series of printouts that will be furnished to your tax assessor. Upon the filing of a protest or a correction motion, the appraisal review board will normally hear and determine the matter. If the board determines a value reduction is warranted, that determination will be reflected either in the certified roll or in a subsequent correction roll. Most protests are determined before the appraisal roll is certified and their results will be reflected in the certified roll. However, the law permits a variety of late protests and correction motions that may result in changes to your 2006 values for many years to come.
