It is with great pleasure to announce to the membership that the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts published proposed rule §3.276 Surveying Services in the September 24th issue of the Texas Register. This section beginning on page 6377 memorializes existing comptroller policy, implements House Bill 3319, 80th Legislature, 2007, and defines terms in Tax Code, §151.0048 (Real Property Service) which were not previously defined. The comptroller intends for the information in this rule to be consistent with the surveying services information currently in §3.356 (relating to Real Property Service). Portions of §3.356 regarding surveying services will be repealed after the adoption of this new rule. To the extent the information in this section differs from the information concerning surveying services contained in other sections of this title, it is the comptroller's intent that this section control.
Comments on the proposed rule must be submitted on or before October 24th to Teresa G. Bostick, Director, Tax Policy Division, P.O. Box 13528, Austin, Texas 78711-3528 or by email to teresa.bostick@cpa.texas.gov.
