Tax Rates and Levies
Tax Code Section 5.091 requires the Comptroller's office to prepare a list that includes the total tax rate imposed by each taxing unit in this state, as reported to the comptroller by each appraisal district. The tax rates included are for the year in which the list is prepared and must be listed alphabetically according to the county or counties in which each taxing unit is located, and by the name of each taxing unit. The Comptroller's Property Tax Assistance Division (PTAD) publishes this list not later than Jan. 1 of the following year, as required.
An * by the taxing unit name in the spreadsheet indicates that the appraisal district did not provide the tax rates requested by the Property Tax Assistance Division.
An ** by the taxing unit name in the special district spreadsheet indicates that the taxing unit is a community college district that may collect a tax in some school districts under Education Code Chapter 130. This allows for a different tax rate for branch campuses in those school districts.
The market values, taxable values and tax rates are reported to the comptroller by each appraisal district. Effective Jan. 1, 2020, tax rates and tax rate related information is reported to the comptroller on Form 50-886-a, Tax Rate Submission Spreadsheet (XLSX). Details on the submission process is included in the Electronic Appraisal Roll Submission Manual (PDF).
The levies shown do not reflect actual tax collections. The Comptroller's office calculates the levies shown using information reported by appraisal districts with certain adjustments made to reflect taxable values reported for school funding purposes.
The reported taxable value information may differ from local data due to appraisal roll changes after reporting and/or the adjustments (such as local optional exemptions, certain property categories, deferral and TIF deductions) not included for school funding purposes. The Comptroller's office reviews the self-reported data and makes adjustments throughout the year to report the most accurate data; therefore, the reported information is subject to change.
Tax Code Section 26.16 requires each county to maintain an internet website. The county assessor-collector for each county shall post on the internet website certain tax rate information for each taxing unit in the county. Comptroller Rule 9.1002, Posting of Tax Rates on County's Internet Website, prescribes the manner in which the information is required to be presented. Please contact your local county tax assessor-collector for more information.
