The appraisal limitation generally restricts annual appraised-value growth to 10%, plus qualifying new improvements, after the cap becomes effective.

Agricultural, timber and certain other specially appraised property is excluded.

A separate circuit-breaker application generally is not required when the property qualifies.

Eligibility depends partly on ownership during the required prior period.

A transfer can remove the previous owner’s limitation until the new owner qualifies.
