About Property Taxes in Texas
Property taxes in Texas are levied at the county level and are a primary funding source for local government services including public schools, law enforcement, fire protection, and infrastructure maintenance. The effective tax rate varies significantly between counties depending on local budgets, assessed values, and any applicable exemptions or caps.
Homeowners in Texas should be aware that the median tax figures shown above reflect actual taxes paid, which may differ from the statutory rate due to homestead exemptions, senior exemptions, assessment ratios, and other adjustments.
