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.
Adjustment 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.
Adjustment 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
2
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
7
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 teens 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 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.
8
B.
Default by City
In the event of default by the City, the Property Owner may, if such default is not fully
corrected 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 covered by the Property Owner's last payment
hereunder.
X.
Notice
Any notice to the Property Owner or the City concerning the matters to which the
Agreement relates may be given in writing by registered or certified mail addressed to the
Property Owner or the City at the appropriate respective addresses set forth on the cover page of
this Agreement. Any such notice in writing may be given in any other manner. If given by
registered or certified mail, the notice shall be effective when mailed. With the exception of
annual bills for payments due herein, notice given in any other manner shall be effective when
received by the Property Owner or the City, as the case may be.
XI.
No Further Expansion of Taxing Jurisdiction
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to change or enlarge the jurisdiction, power
or authority of the City over or with respect to the affected area as prescribed by applicable law,
except as specifically provided in this Agreement. The Property Owner shall not be obligated by
virtue of this Agreement, or the establishment of the industrial district covering the affected area
not within the corporate limits of the City, to make any payments to the City in the 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. Specifically, the
Property Owner shall not be liable for any City taxes within the affected area, including, without
limitation, City ad valorem taxes on taxable property within the affected area.
XII.
Reimbursement for Services
If the Property Owner requests and receives mutual aid firefighting assistance and is a
member of Channel Industries Mutual Aid organization ("CIMA") or similar organization, the
Property Owner shall reimburse the City for costs incurred by the City in providing fire
protection services to the Property Owner as shall be provided in the charter, bylaws and
E
agreements pursuant to which CIMA or such similar organization is organized and operates. If
the Property Owner requests and receives mutual aid firefighting assistance and is not a member
of CIMA or a similar organization, then the Property Owner shall be required to reimburse the
City for costs actually expended by the City in providing any firefighting assistance to the
Property Owner, including chemical and personnel costs.
XIII.
Declaratory Judgment Action
If any disagreement arises between the parties concerning the interpretation of this
Agreement, it is agreed that either of the said parties may petition any Civil District Court of
Harris County, Texas, for a Declaratory Judgment determining said controversy and the cause
shall be tried as other civil causes. If the controversy affects an Industrial District Payment, the
Property Owner shall, pending final determination of said controversy, pay to the City on the due
date the same amount which was paid to the City for the last preceding period as to which there
was no controversy concerning the amount owed by the Property Owner to the City. The
Property Owner agrees to tender any additional amount of potential liability to the registry of the
Civil District Court, Harris County, Texas, pending final determination of the controversy
beyond any further appeal.
XIV.
Assi ng ment
This Agreement shall not bestow any rights upon any third party, but rather, shall bind
and benefit the Property Owner and the City only. If the Property Owner conveys all or any part
of the property then covered hereby, the Property Owner shall notify the City within 30 days of
the conveyance and shall thereafter cease to be obligated with respect to the property so
conveyed and the Base Year Value plus the Added Value shall be apportioned between the
Property Owner and the grantee based upon the property conveyed, only if the grantee thereof
enters into an Industrial District Agreement with the City with respect to such property so
conveyed. No right or obligation under this Agreement may be sold, assigned or transferred.
XV.
Authority
The Property Owner covenants that it has the authority to enter into this Agreement by
virtue of being either the legal or equitable owner of a possessory estate (including a leasehold
estate) in the land comprising the affected area, which will not terminate before the expiration
date of this Agreement. Additionally, the officers executing this Agreement on behalf of the
parties hereby represent that such officers have full authority to execute this Agreement and to
bind the party he represents.
10
XVI.
No Municipal Services
It is agreed that during the term of this Agreement, the City is under no obligation to
provide any governmental, proprietary or other municipal services to the affected area.

sewer or water service, (2) police protection, (3) fire protection (4) road or street repairs, and (5)
garbage pickup service.
XVII.
Severability
If any provision of this Agreement, or any covenant, obligation or agreement contained
herein, including, without limitation, that term hereof, is determined by a court to be invalidated
or unenforceable, such provision, covenant, obligation or agreement shall be reformed so as to
comply with applicable law. If it is not possible to so reform such provision, covenant,
obligation or agreement, such determination shall not affect any other provision, covenant,
obligation or agreement, each of which shall be construed and enforced as if the invalid or
unenforceable portion were not contained herein. Provided, further that such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect any valid and enforceable provision thereof, and each such
provision, covenant, obligation or agreement shall be deemed to be effective, operative, made,
entered into or taken in the manner and to the full extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding the
above, if the application of this Section XVII requires reformation or revision of any term that
removes or materially diminishes the obligation of the Property Owner to make the payments to
the City described herein (except in the event of a reformation that shortens the term of this
Agreement), the City shall have the option to declare this Agreement terminated.
XVIII.

or remedy occurring as a result of any future default or failure of performance.
