Re: Compliance with Texas Senate Bill 1812 - Annual Report of Eminent Domain Authority
Dear Superintendents of Independent School Districts in Texas, and Presidents of all Community Colleges:
Pursuant to Senate Bill 1812, enacted by the 84th Legislature and in effect as of September 1, 2015, all public and private entities in Texas authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain are required to electronically report specific information to the Comptroller for posting. You may log in here to submit your report: http://comptroller.texas.gov/webfile/eminent-domain/. The electronic reporting form features standardized choices. You may download a list of provisions that are available in the online form in order to gather all the information before starting the submission process. The list of provisions can be found here: (http://comptroller.texas.gov/webfile/ eminent-domain/provisions.pdf) These reporting requirements must be met by February 1, 2016 in order to avoid a maximum penalty of $2,000.
If you have questions or if I can assist you further in these reporting requirements, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and attention.
