Texas Property Tax Rates
Texas property taxes are some of the highest in the nation. In fact, the state’s effective property tax rate is 1.83%, which ranks 4th in the US. However, Texas property tax rates vary widely from one county to the next. For example, in Comal County, the effective property tax rate is just 1.48%. But in
Harris County, it’s a whopping 2.31%.
What’s more, Texas property taxes are imposed on the full market value of your home, less any homestead exemptions. And, to make matters worse, your home’s value is reassessed every year. So, if your home’s value goes up, so will your property taxes. Thus, it becomes inevitable as a homeowner to understand what your property taxes would look like.
At Alamo Ad Valorem, we are a group of experts helping Texas residents with their property tax protest and appeal. Our Texas Property Tax calculator will help you with an understanding about your property tax value.
What is the 10 percent property tax rule in Texas?
The 10 percent property tax rule in Texas is a provision that protects homeowners who have applied for the homestead exemption to no more than a 10% annual increase on their assessed value. This is not to be confused with “appraised value”, which has no annual limits on its increase. This provision
is in place to protect property owners from rapid increases in their property taxes that they may not be able to afford. You must protest the appraised value increase because you will see an annual 10% increase in you assessed value until the assessed value equals the appraised value. If a property
owner appeals their taxes and is successful, their property taxes will be adjusted to reflect the new, lower appraised value.
