Texas does not have a state income tax, so local governments rely heavily on property taxes to fund schools, infrastructure, and public services. Each taxing authority sets a rate expressed per $100 of assessed value. Your annual property tax bill is calculated by dividing your taxable value by 100 and multiplying it by the combined tax rate.
Common taxing units include the county, independent school district (ISD), city, hospital districts, community colleges, and utility or special purpose districts. Homestead exemptions reduce your taxable value and may vary by taxing unit.
Property tax bills are issued in October and must be paid by January 31 of the following year to avoid penalties and interest.
Homestead exemptions reduce the taxable value of your primary residence. The state mandates a $40,000 school district exemption, and many local taxing units offer additional optional exemptions.
If you have a homestead exemption, your taxable value for school district taxes is capped at a 10% annual increase plus the value of improvements. Other taxing units may have similar caps or optional freezes for seniors.
