3 Dallas Central Appraisal District October 2015 It is my pleasure to present the Annual Report of the Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD). This Annual Report for 2015 endeavors to provide specific information about the operations of the DCAD. The report has been designed to provide the reader a summarization of information which is published and printed in many different formats by the appraisal district. It highlights the results of our appraisal operations, our taxpayer assistance programs, our financial stewardship, the appeals process, and statistical comparisons from the Property Tax Assistance Division Property Value Study. The Dallas Central Appraisal District strives to be one of the premier governmental organizations in the State of Texas and the United States. In 2013 DCAD received the Certificate of Excellence in Assessment Administration from the International Association of Assessing Officers. This certificate is good for five years and recognizes governmental units utilizing best appraisal and assessment practices in their offices. In addition DCAD once again received a perfect score on the Methods and Assistance Review conducted by the Property Tax Assistance Division of the State Comptroller s Office for This marks the third time we have received a perfect score. The DCAD works hard to provide equality and uniformity to the citizens of Dallas County and the sixty-one entities represented who rely upon our work and expect our operation to be efficient, timely, and accurate. The DCAD also works with the State Comptroller s Property Tax Assistance Division to assure that school districts receive accurate appraisal values for setting the basis for school funding. Finally, the DCAD has a high commitment to customer service. We strive to serve greater Dallas County with professionalism and integrity in all aspects of our operations. In 2015, DCAD once again successfully certified a timely and accurate appraisal roll and finished the year with a budget surplus. We believe it is our highest priority to not only efficiently serve our participating taxing units, but to humbly serve the citizens of Dallas County and provide an accurate and fair appraisal roll so that the tax burden can be equitably distributed. I thank you for taking time to review this Annual Report and hope that you can gain insight into the operations of the Dallas Central Appraisal District. Sincerely, W. Kenneth Nolan Executive Director/Chief Appraiser Office of the Chief Appraiser Dallas Central Appraisal District 2949 N. Stemmons Fwy. Dallas, Texas 75247

6 Appraisal Results AY 2013 AY 2014 AY 2015 The appraisal function for Dallas CAD is segregated into 4 divisions - Residential, Commercial, Business Personal Property (BPP), and Property Records / Exemptions (PRE). There are 120 appraisal registrants within Dallas CAD. New Construction and miscellaneous permit statistics are based on building permits received from the cities in Dallas County that result in an inspection or office review. New Construction denotes a new improvement and miscellaneous permits typically include repair permits, finish-out permits, and demolition permits. Physical site visits typically occur on any building permit issued by a city that affects value as well as any property that was partially complete as of January 1 of the prior appraisal year. Reappraisal statistics are based on those neighborhoods and properties that have been targeted for reappraisal. Neighborhoods targeted for reappraisal are based primarily on ratio study analysis comparing sale prices to appraised values. Programmatic Reappraisal occurs in homogeneous neighborhoods where digital photography and aerial photography can be utilized in the valuation process as opposed to an actual physical inspection. Conventional Reappraisal is where an actual physical inspection takes place. Sales Processing, Income and Expense Processing and a review of all Sold properties in the Commercial file takes place annually to assist in targeting areas (Land Market Areas and Improved Market Areas) and properties for reappraisal. This information is also used to assist Commercial in developing income models for the major property types - Office, Retail, Industrial, Apartments, and Hotels. Business Personal Property targets all new businesses (Adds) and deletes businesses (Inactives) that no longer exist as of January 1. BPP reappraises all businesses on an annual basis and typically undertakes site visits on 33% of all businesses annually. BPP also values aircraft, special inventory accounts, leased equipment companies, utilities and pipelines within Dallas County. The Property Records Exemption Division is responsible for updating all ownership changes annually and administers both partial and total exemption applications. PRE responsibilities also include processing Abatements, TIF s, Historics, Ceiling Tax Transfers, Agricultural valuations, property line metes and bounds changes (AFC) including setting up all new subdivisions.

7 Taxpayer Appeal Results In accordance with the Texas Property Tax Code, Section 41.44, a property owner and/or an authorized Tax Consultant may file an appeal with the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) of Dallas County. The ARB schedules these appeals for protest hearings and notifies the protesting party of their scheduled hearing before the ARB. The ARB hears all of the protested property accounts and then approves and submits an appraisal roll to the Chief Appraiser. The protest process begins around May 1 and concludes by July 20 of each year. The Chief Appraiser of the Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD) then certifies the appraisal roll to the 61 taxing entities of Dallas County who are served by the Appraisal District. The ARB is a quasi-judicial body appointed by the County Administrative Judge. Members are charged with the function of providing an impartial review of the appraisal records prepared by DCAD. The ARB is empowered to equalize values of all properties in DCAD in relation to fair market value and hear taxpayer appeals through scheduled hearings for those who dispute their appraised value. The ARB members do not work for DCAD, but rather arbitrate between the taxpayer and DCAD in order to determine market value. Beginning in 2014, the 90 ARB members are appointed by the Adminstrative District Judge and serve two year terms.

8 Financial Results The financial results of the Dallas Central Appraisal District reflect the unwavering focus on conservative fiscal stewardship and optimal utilization of financial and personnel resources. The financial process of DCAD is presented in two different publications the approved Financial Budget and the Audited Financial Statements. The first shows what is planned and the second shows what actually happened. The Financial Budget must be presented to the Board of Directors and the participating entities by February 1 of each year. The Board of Directors holds at least one public hearing by April to receive input on the proposed budget which must be adopted by May 15. The Financial Budget outlines goals, objectives and programs to be accomplished; operating and maintenance expenditures by category codes; personnel breakdown with staffing levels and salary ranges; and a detailed schedule of capitalized equipment to be purchased. The Financial Statements are audited by a third party CPA in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The Board of Directors appoints a Budget and Audit Review Committee comprised of two members to review the budget with staff and report any findings or recommendations. The Committee also reviews the draft of the financial audit with DCAD s auditor to review any comments from the auditor s findings and receive any recommendations on the financial operations. In fiscal years 2011 through 2013, Dallas CAD responded to the downturn in economic activity by reducing budgeted expenditures and personnel levels. We are now seeing increased sales and business activity which will necessitate increasing the 2014 and 2015 budgets.

10 Comptroller PTAD Studies Beginning in 2010, PTAD will alternate between a Property Value Study (PVS) and a Methods and Assistance Program (MAP) review for each CAD. Dallas CAD is having its PVS in 2014 and its next MAP in The charts to the right highlight the most recent data for the top 10 CADs for both the PVS and MAP. The PVS has 2 purposes - to assess the median level of appraisal for each CAD and to determine the taxable value of property for each ISD for school funding purposes. Dallas CAD consistently ranks in the top for the first and always gets local value in the second.

The MAP has 4 Mandatory Requirements. MAP also looks at 4 areas of importance which are shown to the right. These areas do not change from one MAP to the next but the number and requirements for the questions do. Presently, questions are tailored for three different tiers of CADs. Since 2010 / 2011 MAP was the initial study for all CADs, the emphasis was on documenting what and how the major functions were accomplished. Were there written policies and procedures in place? Were statutory requirements properly documented? 2013 and 2014 Methods & Assistance Program (MAP): CAD MAP Study Year Governance Taxpayer Assistance Harris CAD 2014 MEETS ALL MEETS ALL Dallas CAD 2013 EXCEEDS EXCEEDS Tarrant CAD 2014 MEETS ALL MEETS ALL Travis CAD 2013 EXCEEDS EXCEEDS Bexar CAD 2013 EXCEEDS EXCEEDS Collin CAD 2013 EXCEEDS EXCEEDS Denton CAD 2014 MEETS ALL MEETS Fort Bend CAD 2013 EXCEEDS EXCEEDS Williamson CAD 2013 EXCEEDS EXCEEDS El Paso CAD 2013 EXCEEDS EXCEEDS The 2012 / 2013 MAP focused upon proper documentation to verify that the "walk matches the talk."
