How Does the Texas Property Tax Calculator Work?
Use this Texas property tax calculator to estimate your annual tax bill with just your property's assessed value. Our calculator applies Texas's median effective tax rate of 1.48% to generate a realistic estimate of what you'll owe — or what you could save.
Enter your property's estimated assessed value — the value your county assessor uses to calculate your bill, which is typically lower than market value after exemptions. Our calculator applies Texas's median effective tax rate (actual tax bills divided by assessor's market value), which accounts for exemptions and provides a more accurate estimate than the statutory millage rate alone.
Note: your assessed value is determined by your county and reflects any exemptions you already have. Texas's median property tax bill of $3,441 is well above the national median property tax bill of $2,400, and county bills vary widely, from $162 in Loving County to $7,745 in Denton County.
If your estimate is higher than expected, Ownwell can review your assessment and protest on your behalf. Texas homeowners who protested with Ownwell saved an average of $774 per year.
Property Tax Rates Across Texas
What Are Effective Property Tax Rates in Texas?
Local government entities set tax rates, which can vary widely across Texas. Each county estimates its required budget to fund public services and divides that by the total assessed value of all taxable property in its jurisdiction. This calculation produces the effective tax rate.
Below, compare any Texas county's effective rate to other counties in the state or the national median of 1.02%.
For instance, Foard County has the highest effective property tax rate in Texas at 3.17%, while Webb County has the lowest at 0.48%.
Our median effective rate (your actual tax bill divided by the assessor's market value) accounts for all exemptions and deductions, making it more accurate than the general statutory millage rate.
Our median effective property tax rate (tax bill ÷ assessor's market value) accounts for exemptions and deductions, making it more accurate than the general median tax rate, which is the midpoint of statutory rates before adjustments.

Property Tax Assessment Values Across Texas
Understanding the distinction between market value and assessed value is crucial when examining property taxes in Texas.
The market value is what a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller in an open and competitive market. Location, property condition, and economic market trends often influence it. Each Texas county assessor estimates the market value for tax purposes. Texas has a median home price of $258,851, compared with the national median property tax bill of $2,400.
The assessed value is the market value minus any applicable exemptions or limits determined by local laws and offerings. The tax assessed value is the figure used to calculate your property taxes or the amount multiplied by your tax rate to get your tax bill. Texas has a median property tax bill of $3,441, with bills ranging from $1,318 at the 25th percentile to $6,136 at the 75th percentile.
Assessment notices:
In Texas, assessment notices are sent in the spring each year. They'll typically reach your mailbox by the end of May.
Each property owner receives an assessment notice that contains both the market value and assessed value, along with an estimate of your property tax bill. For example, Travis has the highest median home price at $535,052, while Denton has the highest median tax bill at $7,745.

Property Tax Bills Across Texas
How much are property tax bills across Texas?
Property tax bills in Texas are calculated by multiplying the property's assessed value by the local effective tax rate. The assessed value is determined by the county assessor and reflects the market value of the property minus any applicable exemptions.
Texas homeowners face varying tax obligations depending on their location. The median tax bill in Denton County is $7,745.00, while homeowners in Loving County pay a median of $162.00.
Factors including property size, recent improvements, and neighborhood comparables all influence the final assessed value, and therefore the tax bill.
Understanding these factors helps property owners evaluate their assessment accuracy and identify whether an appeal may be warranted. Ownwell can help homeowners save on their property tax bills.

How Do I Appeal My Property Tax Assessment in Texas?
Homeowners in Texas who believe their property tax assessment is too high can appeal the decision through an informal and formal appeal process.
Step 1 — Review your assessment notice: Each year, the county assessor mails a Notice of Assessed Value. Review this carefully for accuracy in square footage, property characteristics, and comparable sales used.
Step 2 — File an appeal: Submit a formal appeal to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts by the deadline — typically May 15 or 30 days after the notice was mailed, whichever is later. Include evidence such as recent comparable sales, a recent appraisal, or documentation of property condition issues.
Step 3 — Informal review: Most counties offer an informal meeting with an appraiser before the formal hearing. This is often where reductions are secured.
Step 4 — Formal hearing: If no agreement is reached, your case proceeds to the Appraisal Review Board, an independent panel that hears evidence from both the homeowner and the appraisal district.
How does Ownwell help?
Ownwell handles every step of this process, from filing to the formal hearing, so you don't overpay.
Exemptions in Texas
Texas property tax exemption programs can help reduce the taxable value of a home, especially for a primary residence. The most common option is the homestead exemption, which is available to homeowners who live in the property as their main home on January 1 of the tax year. This exemption is important because it can lower the assessed value used for property taxes and may also limit how much the taxable value can increase each year on a qualifying home.
Texas also offers exemptions for homeowners who are age 65 or older and for people with disabilities. These exemptions can provide additional tax relief on a primary residence, and homeowners may qualify for more than one type if they meet the requirements. For veterans, Texas provides exemptions that can vary based on disability status and other eligibility rules, and surviving spouses may also qualify in certain cases.
Homeowners usually apply through their local county appraisal district by submitting the required exemption form and supporting documents. It is important to file on time and make sure the property is correctly listed as a primary residence.
Ownwell can help homeowners identify which Texas exemptions they may qualify for, prepare the application, and make sure they do not miss valuable savings opportunities on their primary residence.
