Sec. 42.2521. ADJUSTMENT FOR RAPID DECLINE IN TAXABLE VALUE OF PROPERTY
-
(a) For purposes of Chapters 41 and 46 and this chapter, and to the extent money specifically authorized to be used under this section is available, the commissioner shall adjust the taxable value of property in a school district that, due to factors beyond the control of the board of trustees, experiences a rapid decline in the tax base used in calculating taxable values in excess of four percent of the tax base used in the preceding year.
(b) To the extent that a sufficient amount of money is not available to fund all adjustments under this section, the commissioner shall reduce adjustments in the manner provided by Section 42.253(h) so that the total amount of adjustments equals the amount of money available to fund the adjustments.
(c) A decision of the commissioner under this section is final and may not be appealed.
