the existing reserves shrank in size
and in value "
Among the few property cate-
gories that increased in value
between the 1987 and 1988 studies
were commercial and industrial per
sonal property. ‘ Their growth indi-
cates that inventories and business
equipment were increasing at the
start of 1988," said Patterson He
noted that economic indicators for
this period from the State
Comptroller's Office showed growth
in retail sales, factory output, and
exports in Texas.
The SPTB conducts its annual
study of school district taxable
values together with a study of the
tax appraisals performed by
appraisal districts. The agency
analyzed sales and appraisal
information for 185.000 properties
from across the state in its 1988
study.
