(b)

For purposes of this section, all the provisions of Chapter 252 (Purchasing and Contracting Authority of Municipalities), Local Government Code, applicable to a municipality or to purchases and contracts by a municipality apply to an appraisal district and to purchases and contracts by an appraisal district to the extent they can be made applicable, and all references to the municipality in that chapter mean the appraisal district.
