The state of Texas does not collect state property tax or set the property tax rate. However, your local government or the taxing units (cities, counties, school districts, etc.), where you are living in, may impose a certain rate every year to fund local services including schools, infrastructures, police and fire protection and many others. The tax rates may vary depending on your local government’s fiscal budgets. Next time, when you look at your property tax bills, you will see the breakdown of what you are paying for.
There are two types of property tax, real property tax and personal property tax; both are calculated based on the fair market value of your properties, and that value will be appraised yearly by your local taxing units.

Dissatisfied with the appraisals because of errors or any legitimate reasons, you have the right to protest and challenge that decision by filing Form 50-132, Property Owner’s Notice of Protest with the Appraisal Review Board or letting our professional team help you.
For deadline, you have until May 15 or 30 days from the date the appraisal district notices are mailed to you – whichever date is later. Heeding this, it is 30 days from the date the appraisal district mails a notice, not upon the property owner or their authorized representative’s receipt of delivery. Off-shore workers or full-time military service members may be entitled to a late protest.
