Dallas officials urge state to require disclosure of real estate sales prices

Dallas City Council member Angela Hunt argued that sales price disclosure would make the property tax system more equitable and eliminate the breaks that many commercial property owners now enjoy because their appraisals are often well below market value.

"Commercial property owners aren't pulling their weight," Ms. Hunt told the Senate Subcommittee on Property Appraisal and Revenue Caps. "And that has created inequities in our system."
