Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Molly White Friday, January 21, 2022 11:25 AM PAZ Preservation 1208 S 5 ST *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Amber Allen, I own 1206 S. 5th and received the Demolition application for PR‐2021‐193617 GF 21‐205522. The previous owner, Harriet Venable had lived in the house her entire life and inherited it from her parents when they died. Harriet was disabled, and I see on TCAD that she had a DP Disability exemption as well as a Homestead exemption. Both were correct. Harriet sold and moved in October 2021. TCAD shows the new owner as Joe L Velasco with a California address. TCAD's 2022 record for the property also shows the homestead and disability exemptions continuing to apply. It does not seem appropriate for Harriet Venable's disability exemption to carry over to a new owner. Please investigate the situation. Also, much as I dislike housing to be destroyed, I do not have any evidence of historic significance to 1208 S. 5th. I appreciate your attention to my question.
