A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

(b)

The commissioners court of a county by order may adopt

an exemption from taxation of the portion of the appraised value of

the property.

SECTION 2. This Act applies only to ad valorem taxes imposed

for a tax year beginning on or after the effective date of this Act.

SECTION 3. This Act takes effect January 1, 2026, but only

installation in or on the property of a rainwater harvesting or

graywater system is approved by the voters. If that amendment is
