STEP 5: Date the Agent’s Authority Ends. Pursuant to Tax Code Section 1.111(c), this designation remains in effect until the date 
indicated or until a written revocation is filed with the appraisal district by the property owner or the owner’s designated agent. 
A designation may be made to expire according to its own terms but is still subject to prior revocation by the property owner or 
designated agent. Pursuant to Tax Code Section 1.111(d), a property owner may not designate more than one agent to represent 
the property owner in connection with an item of property. The designation of an agent in connection with an item of property 
revokes any previous designation of an agent in connection with that item of property. By designating an agent on this form, 
previous designations of other agents in connection with the items of property shown on the form are revoked.
