How Texas Property Taxes Work
1. Appraisal
Your County Appraisal District (CAD) determines the market value of your property annually as of January 1.
2. Exemptions
Exemptions like the Homestead Exemption lower your taxable value. Texas offers a $100,000 homestead exemption for ISD taxes.
3. Tax Rates
Local entities (ISD, City, County, MUDs) set rates per $100 of valuation. These rates are multiplied by your taxable value to determine your bill.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Texas property tax work?
Texas has no state property tax. Instead, local taxing units (counties, cities, school districts, and special districts) set rates to fund local services. Your property's appraised value is determined by your county appraisal district (CAD), and your tax bill is calculated by multiplying your home's taxable value (after exemptions) by the combined local tax rates.
What is the Texas homestead exemption?
A homestead exemption removes part of your home's value from taxation. In Texas, all homeowners are entitled to a $100,000 homestead exemption for their primary residence's school district taxes. Many counties and cities offer additional optional exemptions (up to 20% of the home's value).
How are Texas property taxes calculated?
Your property tax is calculated by taking the appraised value of your home, subtracting any eligible exemptions (like the homestead or over-65 exemption), and multiplying that taxable value by the total tax rate of all local taxing entities. The rate is expressed per $100 of property value.
