What does it do?

SB1106 makes public improvement district plans and property assessments easier to find online. These assessments are charges levied against property for district improvements or services; the bill adds disclosure duties, not a new assessment rate or a reduction in what an owner owes. Signed May 19, 2025, it took effect January 1, 2026. Final law; LG 372.017; PR 5.014; Official history.

Service plans: within seven days after approving, amending or updating a chapter 372 service plan, the city or county must post a copy, including the required Property Code 5.014 notice form, on the website it maintains or uses for its Tax Code 26.18 disclosures. Existing service plans cover at least five years and describe annual debt and projected improvement costs; the bill does not replace the existing filing requirement with the county clerk. Final law, section 1; LG 372.013; TX 26.18.

Assessment rolls: within seven days after levying a chapter 372 district assessment, the governing body must send the roll to each appraisal district containing assessed property. It must state the total assessment against each parcel, the annual assessment and each periodic installment, if applicable. Updated rolls are due within seven days after a supplemental assessment, reassessment or new assessment under the specified statutes. The electronic format must be capable of incorporation into the appraisal district’s property-tax database. This is a submission deadline for the governing body, not a separately stated seven-day database-publication deadline for the appraiser. Final law, section 4; LG 372.019; LG 372.020.

Public database: for each property on the appraisal roll, the database must include the name of each public improvement district established under chapter 372 or 382 in which it lies, the total assessment, annual assessment and any periodic installment. The database provision covers both chapters even though the new roll-submission provisions are in chapter 372. Existing law makes the database public and searchable, subject to statutory restrictions on access to some information. Final law, section 5; TX 26.17.

What changed along the way?

The bill adds website posting to the existing service-plan process and adds electronic transmission and database display of district assessments. It also renames section 372.016 “Proposed Assessment Roll” and clarifies that mailing the existing hearing notice is triggered when the proposed roll is filed. It does not abolish the hearing or replace mailed notice with a website notice. The first 14 property-database items reproduced in the act are retained; the district-assessment information is the new fifteenth item. Final law; LG 372.016; TX 26.17.

Who could benefit—and who could bear the costs?

Owners and prospective buyers gain another source of information about district obligations attached to property. Cities, counties and appraisal districts have posting, data-transfer and database duties. Easier access may help people understand charges, but does not itself cancel an assessment, change an installment schedule or guarantee that a particular website is already accurate. Final law; PR 5.014.

The March 8 fiscal note anticipates no state fiscal implication and no significant local fiscal implication. It supplies no dollar estimate for software changes, staff work or individual savings. The act makes no appropriation. Fiscal note; Final law.
