  • Texas Property Taxes Explained - Texas Property Taxes Are Rising Fast But Don't Stress
    Apr 25 2022

    #PropertyTaxes #TexasRealEstate #HomeValuesRising

    Property Taxes on the rise and with all the scary content out spreading fear in our great state of Texas, I wanted to set the record straight. Here is an explanation of what property taxes are and how they effect you as a home owner.  Enjoy.

    Link to County Tax Rates 
    https://lacanteraloans.com/sanantoniopropertytaxrates/
    Link to Bexar County Appraisal District 
    https://bcad.org/
    Homestead Exemption form in Bexar County
    https://bcad.org/data/_uploaded/file/PDFs/50-114%20HS%20Fillable%202022-1.pdf
    Housing Data
    https://www.redfin.com/state/Texas/housing-market


    Property taxes – also called ad valorem taxes – are locally assessed. Texas does not have a state property tax.  Local appraisal districts appraise and value property located in the county and local taxing units set tax rates and collect property taxes based on those values.


    Property taxes provide more tax dollars for local services in Texas than any other source-they help pay for public schools, libraries, playgrounds, city streets, county roads, police, fire protection, emergency medical service and many other services.

    How are property Taxes Assessed & Calculated
    Property Taxes are Assessed each year based on the values in the area of homes sold. The value is often assessed on the land and improvement value of your home. The County then takes that value times the area tax rate to give a taxable amount for the year. 
        - 
    - Taxes are Due Jan 1 of the New Year each year 
    - Exemptions & How to Claim Them
        - Claim by April 30 of each calendar year. 
            - Those That don’t have to wait… 
                - 65 over 
                - 100% disabled Vet - Zero Taxes on Primary Residence.
    - Tax Increase Cap 10% YoY
    - Disputing Tax Values
