Appraisal: An estimate of what property is worth. In Texas, county appraisal districts set the value that property taxes are based on.
Authorization: A law that creates or continues a government program and says what it may do, often with a suggested spending ceiling. An authorization alone does not provide money; a separate appropriation does.
