How Are Property Taxes Calculated in Texas?

Property taxes in Texas are based on the assessed value of your property multiplied by local tax rates set by school districts, municipalities, and other taxing authorities. The median effective tax rate across Texas counties is 1.00%, which is below the national median of 1.02%.

If you believe your property's assessed value is too high, you have the right to protest the assessment. TaxDrop handles the entire process — you only pay if we save you $500 or more.

How to Protest Your Texas Property Taxes

Filing a property tax protest in Texas is your legal right. Here is the basic process:

  1. Review your annual assessment notice from your local assessor.
  2. File your protest before the deadline (May 15 or 30 days after notice).
  3. Gather evidence: recent comparable sales, photos of property condition issues, and any independent appraisals.
  4. Attend a hearing or submit your evidence for review.
  5. Receive a decision on your assessed value.

TaxDrop handles this entire process for you. Our experts analyze your property, build your case, and represent you. You only pay if we save you $500 or more.

Stop overpaying on property taxes

30-60% of properties are over-assessed, but only 5% of homeowners challenge their bill. TaxDrop makes it easy to fight back. No upfront cost. No fee if we save you less than $500.
