Texas Economic Development Act

HB 1200 was passed in 2001, and it created a mechanism for school districts to offer property tax relief to businesses undertaking major economic development projects in their community.

A school district has the authority (but not the obligation) to limit the appraised value of a specific property for a certain number of years.

Eligible categories:

  • Manufacturing
  • Research & Development
  • Clean Coal Projects
  • Gasification projects for Coal and Biomass Mixture
  • Renewable Energy Generation
