Austin Property Values & Zoning Shift

Monday, October 19, 1964 special called
  • Property Tax Fairness Under Fire:

    A major public hearing centered on citizen Nelson Puett's extensive appeal of property tax assessments. He argued for fair, market-value based appraisals and questioned a recent $50 million increase in the tax roll, highlighting the lack of a city-wide reappraisal since 1947.
  • Calls for Tax Reform & Oversight:

    Puett urged the city to establish a Citizens Committee to scrutinize appraisal methods and tax changes. He also suggested exploring alternative revenue sources like a sales or sewer tax to reduce reliance on property taxes.
  • Detailed Valuation Disputes:

    Puett presented numerous examples of his properties, contending some were valued too low by the city, while many others—particularly newly built cottages—were assessed significantly above their construction cost or recent sales prices.
  • Contentious Zoning Change Advances:

    The council debated an ordinance to rezone a portion of the F. Haster Subdivision from residential to commercial. A motion to postpone the decision failed, and the ordinance passed its second reading, moving towards final approval.

=CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Special Meeting October 19, 1964 9:00 Α.Μ. Council Chamber, City Hall The meeting was called to order with Mayor Palmer presiding. Roll call: Present: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Shanks, White, Mayor Palmer Absent: None Present also: Doren R. Eskew, City Attorney; Jack Klitgaard, Tax Assessor and Collector; Paul Gladden and J. E. Olson, Property Appraisers for Tax Department and Thomas P. de Steiguer, Tax Attorney. The Mayor announced that this was a Special Meeting of the Council called for the purpose of hearing tax appeals by Mr. Nelson Puett; and of considering an ordinance covering the property of Mr. Louie Gage at 1026 East 53rd Street. MR. NELSON PUETT stated there were two points he would like to make. One, that taxes be fair and equitable as appraised with other property; and two, that property not be assessed in excess of the fair cash market value. Discussion of market value was held and it was brought out that the courts had held that market value was established by a willing seller and a willing buyer concept. Mr. Puett said that the City had not had a reappraisal since 1947 and he thought there should be another one this year. Mr. Puett stated the increase in the tax roll this year was $50,000,000 and all that could not have been new buildings because there was only about this much in new buildings constructed in the City. He discussed in detail the method in which there are separate values for land and buildings on the tax roll and insisted that these properties be valued as a package. His contention was that the tax department was wrong in raising land values only of a package. He questioned the technique of reappraising property every four years. He recommended that a Citizens Committee be appointed to look into the appraisals and the methods used. Mayor Palmer stated the suggestion had merit and the Council would look into this. Mr. Puett asked that the Council consider some other sources of revenue besides taxes on real property. He suggested a sales tax and a sewer tax. The Mayor stated the City would need permissive legislation to expand the tax basis and they would need citizen help in obtaining this. As to the sewer tax the Mayor explained that people with sewer pay a different water rate than those that do not have sewer. Mr. Puett said there were too many mistakes in his tax statements and if there were that many mistakes in his there were certainly that many in other people's. He felt that it was just as bad, or maybe worse, for the assessments to be too low as too high because if they are too low someone else will have to make this up in their taxes. He asked again that a committee be appointed to check each tax change. Rendition of property was discussed briefly. October 19, 1964 - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MR. PUETT appealed the values as set by the Board of Equalization on the following property as being assessed too low: Full Value Full Value Assessed Value by Tax Dept. 1963 by Tax Dept. 1964 Assessed Value by Rendered Value Tax Dept.
