Agreement 0006956, filed with the Texas Comptroller by Brazoria County.
The dated sentence above defines a term used elsewhere in the contract. It is recorded here as a definition, not as a performance obligation.
Where a deadline above has passed, no public record exists of whether it was met — not in the Comptroller’s filings, nor in the local government’s own disclosures. That is not evidence of non-compliance. Texas requires nobody to record it.
A local abatement waives only that taxing unit’s share of the property tax bill. School districts, counties, cities and hospital districts each sign separately.
