Texas SB58 modifies tax treatment for replacement structures damaged by casualty, natural disaster, or wind/water damage.
Texas SB58 amends the Tax Code to change how replacement structures are treated for ad valorem tax purposes. If a structure is replaced after being rendered uninhabitable or unusable by a casualty, natural disaster, or wind or water damage, it is not considered a new improvement if the replacement's square footage does not exceed the original or if the exterior materials are of comparable quality. This Act takes effect January 1, 2026.
