Property Tax Professionals
Here are the public comments on general topics received during the 2012 Strategic Planning process. The comments are grouped as answers to the four questions we based our discussions on.
- What are we doing well?
- What can we do better?
- If you could change one service that we provide or eliminate or amend any provision of TDLR’s statutes or rules, what would it be?
- What major changes will occur over the next five years that will impact the way you do business and the services we provide?

Renew your TDLR registration in TWO Easy Steps!
Step 1: You will receive a renewal form or postcard when it is time for you to renew. (These forms are mailed out 65 days prior to your individual expiration date. Your expiration date is determined by the anniversary date of your original registration.)
Step 2: You may go online to the TDLR website to renew your registration and pay your fee with a credit card. (Renewing online reduces the cost of processing your renewal and helps keep license fees low.) You’re done!
If you would rather pay by check, you may complete the paper renewal form and mail it to TDLR with your check. (If you received a postcard and would like a renewal form, check the box on the postcard indicating you would like the renewal form and return the postcard to TDLR. TDLR will then mail the renewal form.)
A CAD or other employer may return multiple renewal forms together and pay with one check. If paying multiple renewals with one check, make sure the check is for the correct amount to avoid delays in processing the renewals.
