Preguntas Frecuentes
Why is Texas property tax so high?
Texas has no state income tax, so local governments (counties, cities, school districts) rely heavily on property tax for revenue. The average effective rate of 1.6-1.8% is among the highest in the US, roughly double the national average.
What is the Texas homestead exemption?
Primary residences qualify for a $100,000 homestead exemption on school district taxes (raised from $40,000 in 2023). Counties and cities offer additional exemptions of $3,000-$20,000. Seniors (65+) get additional exemptions and a school tax freeze.
How often is property appraised in Texas?
County appraisal districts reappraise properties annually based on market value as of January 1. You receive a notice of appraised value in April/May and can protest if you disagree. Non-homestead properties have no cap on annual increases.
Is there a cap on homestead value increases?
Yes. Homestead appraised values cannot increase more than 10% per year (reduced from 10% to 10% in 2023, with some proposals to lower further). This cap only applies to your primary residence, not investment properties.
When are Texas property taxes due?
Taxes are due by January 31 of the following year (for example, 2025 taxes are due January 31, 2026). Payments can be split into installments for seniors. Penalty and interest accrue starting February 1 at 6% plus 1% per month.
