Comptroller: Dark Store Commercial Appraisals = Corporate Welfare= Welfare Zombies!

The Comptroller lists the problems with dark store commercial appraisals in a supporter email as:

• the cost is carried by residential property owners
• homeowners cannot argue to ARBs that their proeprty is “too special” to value
• the appraisal playing field should be level

The cost of dark store appraisals:

• cost our local governments $2.6 billion annually within five years
• cost $1.2 billion in lost school property taxes
• cost of $703 million a year away from the Foundation School Program
