Pollution Control Property Tax Relief

On November 2, 1993, Texas voters approved a constitutional amendment providing an exemption from property taxation for pollution control property.  Pollution control property refers to a facility, device, or method for control of air, water, or land pollution.  A facility may obtain an exemption from ad valorem property taxes for equipment installed to comply with environmental laws or rules.  This can result in the reduction of a facility’s appraised value by the value of the pollution control property which in turn means lower property taxes.
