  relating to the appraisal for ad valorem tax purposes of a parcel of
  real property that is located in more than one county.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Subchapter B, Chapter 23, Tax Code, is amended by
  adding Section 23.27 to read as follows:
         Sec. 23.27.  SINGLE APPRAISAL FOR PARCEL IN MORE THAN ONE
  COUNTY. (a)  The owner of a parcel of real property that extends
  into two or more counties may choose a single appraisal district
  established for one of those counties to appraise the property for
  ad valorem tax purposes for each taxing unit that imposes ad valorem
  taxes on the property.
         (b)  A property owner that has chosen to have real property
  appraised by a single appraisal district under Subsection (a) may
  revoke that choice and by written request filed with each appraisal
  district choose to have the property appraised by a single
  appraisal district other than the one previously chosen or to have
  the property appraised by each appraisal district in which the
  property is located.
         (c)  To make a choice under this section, the property owner
  must file a written request with each appraisal district in which
  the property is located.  A choice made by a property owner under
  this section takes effect beginning on the next January 1 that is at
  least 90 days after the date on which the choice has been filed with
  each appraisal district.
         SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect January 1, 2024, but only
  if the constitutional amendment proposed by the 88th Legislature,
  Regular Session, 2023, authorizing the legislature to permit an
  owner of a parcel of real property that is located in more than one
  county to elect to have the property appraised for ad valorem
  taxation by the appraising entity for one of those counties is
  approved by the voters.  If that amendment is not approved by the
  voters, this Act has no effect.
