Scope and Content
The
City of Dallas Board of Adjustment was created by ordinance in 1899. Its purpose was to achieve compromise between the City of Dallas and property owners concerning all delinquent taxes on real estate. The board met to hear citizen appeals and recommend a process for paying off taxes. The recommendation then went to the full council for final approval. As it appeared in the city charter, "Any person aggrieved by reason of any act of the Director of Revenue and Taxation in making up the assessments, or in the valuation of property of taxing purposes, shall be entitled to make complaint to the Board of Equalization and to appeal to siad Board for revision and correction of the matter upon which said compaint is based."
The Board of Equalization's functions of tax appraisal and appeals ceased in 2001 when the City of Dallas consolidated property tax collection operations with the Dallas County Tax Office.
Organization
