CITY OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS"
TAX EQUALIZATION BOARD MEETING
July 19, 1975
The annual meeting of the City of Southlake Tax Equalization
Board convened at 9 o'clock A.M. in the Council Chamber of k
City Hall, 667 North Carroll Avenue, Southlake, Texas, with
the following members present:
Roger Baird
L. A. Casey
Natalee Nunn
Brad Popkin, Alternate
Also present:M. E. Whiteside, Tax Assessor.
The City Secretary swore in the Board Members in accordance
with Article 7215 of Vernon's Civil Statutes. The following
citizens appeared before the Board:
Harold I. Knight, 1749 E. Highland Street, protested to the
Board that although his property value had not been raised
this year, it had been raised last year and it exceeded the
value of his neighbors' property. In checking adjoining
owners, the Board found this to be true. Whereupon, Mrs.
Nunn moved that Mr. Knight's property be valued at $1,500
per acre as his neighbors; seconded by Mr. Popkin The
motion passed unanimously. The Board then recommended that
all property in that area in Abstracts 1511 and 1038) along
East Highland and Sunshine Lane be raised in value to $2,000
an acre for the 1976 Tax Roll.
C. A. Parker, 2601 North Carroll Avenue, requested that his
tax be lowered inasmuch as he dedicated right-of-way to the
City for the extension of Carroll Avenue. The Board pointed
out that a reduction occurred in the amount of land taxed and
that he would receive the benefit of the Homestead Exemption
of $3,000 for those over 65. They did not feel that $1,000
per acre value on the balance was excessive and were unanimous
in leaving the value as currently assessed at $6,000. Mr.
Parker then asked that the Board review his son's property,
Larry Parker. After due consideration, the Board found the
value to be fair and left it the same.
There being no other citizens approach the Board and no further
matters before it, the Board all agreed to adjourn, whereby the
meeting did adjourn and the business at hand ended for this
year, 1975, sine die.
