Tax Relief: Advisory Committee
The Tax Relief for Pollution Control Property Advisory Committee was established by the Texas Legislature to provide recommendations to TCEQ on matters relating to use determinations for pollution control property/equipment and the implementation of Texas Tax Code (TTC) Section 11.31. The advisory committee is made up of members selected to represent the following groups: industry, appraisal districts, taxing units, environmental groups, and members who are not representatives of any of those groups but have substantial technical expertise in pollution control technology and environmental engineering.
