Valuations and Collections
A.
Generally
The parties hereto recognize that said Chambers County Appraisal District is not
required to appraise for the City the land, improvements, and tangible property, real or mixed, in
the affected area, which is not within the corporate limits of the City, for the purpose of
computing the payments hereunder. For the purpose of providing a procedure for determining
and collecting the amounts payable by the Property Owner hereunder, there are hereby adopted
and made a part hereof all provisions of the Constitution and statutes of the State of Texas
pertaining to ad valorem taxation as amended throughout the term of this Agreement (including,
in particular, the Texas Property Tax Code), except, however, that (i) to the extent that any of
such provisions would require the assessment of the Property Owner's property on an equal
and uniform basis with property in the general corporate limits of the City, the provisions of
this Agreement will control where in conflict with the provisions of such laws and (ii) the
income method of appraisal as described in Section 23.012 of the Texas Property Tax Code
shall not be limited to only properties for which a rental market exists. Specifically, nothing
contained herein shall limit the income method of appraisal specified in Section 23.012 of the
Texas Property Tax Code to only properties for which a rental market exists, instead if such
method is used, the chief appraiser shall:
1. use income and expense data pertaining to the property, if possible and applicable;
2. make any projections of future income and expenses only from clear and
appropriate evidence;
3. use data from generally accepted sources in determining an appropriate
capitalization rate; and
4, determine a capitalization rate for income-producing property that includes a
reasonable return on investment, taking into account the risk associated with
the investment
The parties agree that the fair market value of the Property Owner's land,
improvements, and tangible property subject to Subsections B and C of this section shall be
determined in accordance with the market value computation contemplated in the Texas
Property Tax Code for the purpose of calculating the Property Owner's payment under this
Agreement on properties annexed or disannexed subsequent to the commencement of this
Agreement. The City may choose to use the appraised value as finally determined by the
Chambers County Appraisal District (or through administrative or ,judicial appeal of the
Chambers County Appraisal District's determination), or by appraisal conducted by an
independent appraiser of the City's selection at the City's expense. The determination of fair
market values by the City shall be final and binding unless the Property Owner within thirty
(30) days after receipt of the City's determination petitions for a Declaratory Judgment to the
Civil District Court of Harris County, Texas, as provided for by Section XIII hereof
Nothing contained herein shall ever be construed as in derogation of the authority of the
Chambers County Appraisal District to establish the appraised value of land,
improvements, and tangible personal property in the annexed portion for ad valorem tax
purposes.
B.
Adiustment of Base Value for Property Inside the Corporate Limits but Subsequently
Disannexed
Land, improvements and tangible property, real or mixed, of the Property Owner, which
is disannexed from the corporate limits of the City during the term of this Agreement, shall
become part of the affected area immediately upon disannexation. The value for such
disannexed land, improvements and tangible property, real or mixed shall be determined as
described in Subsection A of this Section based upon the year in which the property is
disannexed and shall be added to the Base Value specified in Article V each year after the
disannexation for purposes of payment hereunder.
C.
Adiustment of Base Value for Property Outside the Corporate Limits but Subsequently Annexed
Land, improvements and tangible property, real or mixed, of the Property Owner, which
is annexed into the corporate limits of the City during the term of this Agreement, shall be
removed from the affected area the year after the annexation. The value for such annexed
land, improvements and tangible property, real or mixed shall be determined as described in
Subsection A of this Section based upon the year in which the property is annexed and shall be
subtracted from the Base Value specified in Article V each year after the annexation for
purposes of payment hereunder.
D.
Statements
The City shall mail one statement to the Property Owner on or about December 1 of
each year showing the total amount due on December 31 of such year pursuant to this
Agreement Such statement shall be mailed to the "Tax Statement Address" noted in this
Agreement. Any amounts due on December 31 that are not paid when due shall become
delinquent on January 1 of the following year. Provided, however, if the tax statement is
mailed after December 10, the delinquency date is postponed to the first day of the next
month that will provide a period of at least 21 days after the date of mailing for payment of
the amount due. Delinquent amounts shall be immediately subject to the same penalties,
interest, attorneys' fees and costs of collection as recoverable by the City in the case of
delinquent ad valorem taxes. The City shall have a lien upon the Property Owner's land within
the affected area upon any delinquency in the Industrial District Payment,
E.
Valuation Contests
If any differences concerning the appraised values shall not have been finally
determined by the due date of the Property Owner's payment hereunder and the Property
Owner is pursuing through a declaratory judgment action as specified in Subsection A, the
Property Owner shall, without prejudice to such action, pay to the City by December 31 of each
year (subject to the exception in the preceding paragraph for statements mailed after December
10), such amount as is provided in the Texas Property Tax Code, as amended throughout the
term of this Agreement, for payments made under such conditions by owners of property within
the general corporate limits of the City subject to ad valorem taxation. Any refund payable
by the City to the Property Owner hereunder shall be paid within 60 days after receipt by the
City of both Chambers County Appraisal District's form notification that the appraised value of
the property has been reduced and a written refund request by the Property Owner; if not paid
timely, the refund amount shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 2251.025 of the
Texas Government Code beginning 60 days after the City received both the Property Owner's
written refund request and the Chambers County Appraisal District's formal notification that
the appraised value of the property has been reduced.
VII.
Compliance with Law
The City and the Property Owner mutually recognize that the health and welfare of
Baytown residents require adherence to high standards of quality in the air emissions, water
effluents and noise, vibration and toxic levels of those industries located in the Industrial
District, and that development within the District may have an impact on the drainage of
surrounding areas. To this end, the Property Owner and the City agree that the same standards
and criteria relative to noise, vibration and toxic levels and drainage and flood control which are
adopted by the City and made applicable to portions of the City adjacent to the Industrial
District shall also be applicable to the affected area- The Property Owner agrees that any
industrial or other activity carried on within the affected area will be constructed in strict
compliance with all applicable valid state and federal air and water pollution control standards.
If the Property Owner's property within the affected area is subject to the Occupational Safety
and Health Act, 29 U.S-C 65, et seq., as amended, then the Property Owner shall undertake to
ensure that its facilities and improvements in the affected area comply with the applicable fire
safety standards of such act and the resolutions from time to time promulgated hereunder (the
"OSHA Standards"), but there shall be no obligation to obtain any permits of any kind from the
City in connection with the construction, operation or maintenance of improvements and
facilities in the affected area not located within the corporate limits of the City. Nonetheless, the
Property Owner agrees that any structure built within the affected area shall be built in
accordance with the building code adopted by the City in effect at the time of construction.
The City and the Property Owner recognize that activities in the City's industrial
districts are subject to regulation by other governmental entities, including the state and federal
governments and their various departments and agencies. The City and the Property Owner
also recognize that the City may have an interest in activities in the City's industrial districts
that are regulated by other governmental entities. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit
the City's right and authority to communicate its interest in, or opposition to, those activities to
the applicable regulatory agencies or to participate, to the extent allowed by law, in any related
administrative or judicial proceeding.
VIII.
Inspections
The Chief Appraiser of the Chambers County Appraisal District and the City or its
independent appraiser shall have the same right to enter and inspect the Property Owner's
premises and the same right to examine the Property Owner's books and records to determine
the value of the Property Owner's properties as are provided in the Texas Property Tax Code as
amended.
IX_
Default
A.
Default by Property Owner
In the event of default by the Property Owner in the performance of any of the terms of
this Agreement, including the obligation to make the payments above provided for, the City
shall have the option, if such default is not fully corrected within sixty (60) days from the
giving of written notice of such default to the Property Owner to either (i) declare this
Agreement terminated or (ii) continue the term of this Agreement and collect the payments
required hereunder. Notwithstanding any to the contrary contained herein, should the City
determine the Property Owner is in default according to the terms and conditions of Section
VII hereof, the City shall notify the Property Owner in writing by U.S. Mail, certified return
receipt requested, at the address stated in this Agreement, and if such default is not cured within
sixty (60) days from the date of such notice (the "Cure Period") then such failure to cure shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement; provided that, in the case of a default under
Section VII for causes beyond the Property Owner's control that cannot with due diligence be
cured within such sixty (60) day period or in the event that the failure to cure results from
7
ongoing negotiations with federal or state officials, administrative proceedings or litigation
regarding the necessary cure steps, then the cure period shall be extended until such
negotiations, administrative proceedings or litigation are concluded
B.
Default by City
In the event of default by the City, the Property Owner may, if such default is not fully
convected within 60 days from giving written notice of such default to the City, terminate this
Agreement. Upon such termination, both the Property Owner and the City shall be relieved
of all further obligations hereunder, but the Property Owner shall not be relieved of the
obligation to pay any amounts that accrued prior to such termination. In the event of
termination, the City shall have the right to repeal the ordinance designating the affected area
as an industrial district. Provided, however, if the termination occurs as a result of the
City's exercising its option to terminate (as provided in the first sentence of this Section
IX), the City shall not have the right to annex the affected area into the general corporate
limits of the City so as to subject the affected area to ad valorem taxes for any part of the period

nature of a tax or assessment based upon the value of the Property Owner's property in the
affected area during the term of this Agreement other than the payments specified herein.

bylaws and agreements pursuant to which CIMA or such similar organization is organized and
