Buyer
Beware

When buying real estate property, do not assume property taxes will remain the same. Any change in ownership may reset the assessed value of the property to full market value, which could result in higher property taxes. Please use our Tax Estimator to approximate your new property taxes.

The Property Appraiser does not send tax bills and does not set or collect taxes. Please visit the Tax Collector's website directly for additional information.

The Homestead Exemption saves property owners thousands of dollars each year. Do not jeopardize your Homestead by renting your property.

Before buying real estate property, be aware that non-ad valorem assessments may have a significant impact on your property tax bill.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Why does my property value change every year?

State law requires that the Property Appraiser determines the value of all properties as of the legal assessment date of January 1 each year. These values are based on market information such as sales and income information.

How did you determine the value of my property?

All values are established by nationally accepted valuation methods, which are sales comparison, cost, and income valuation approaches. Adjustments are made for size, condition and extra features of a property.

My neighbor and I have identical homes. Why are my taxes higher?

This is mostly likely due to the difference in benefits applied to these two properties. For example, if your neighbor bought their property in 1994, annual increases in the assessed value of that property would have been no more than $3% or the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower based on the 1994 market value. The assessed value of a newer homestead exemption is not locked in at the lower 1994 value of the neighbor's property, but at whatever was the market value the year that property was acquired, going forward.

What is ''just value''?
