Property taxes are local taxes that provide the largest source of money local governments use to pay for schools, streets, roads, police, fire protection and many other services.
Texas law establishes the process followed by local officials in determining the value for property while ensuring that values are equal and uniform (Appraisal District), setting tax rates (Local Taxing Units) and collecting taxes (Assessor-Collector).
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts publishes “Texas Property Tax Basics” which includes the Property Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, terms and definitions, and a detailed description of each phase of the property tax calendar.
