<\/b><\/strong>Property Taxes
\n<\/b><\/strong>Texas does not have a state property tax.
\n<\/b><\/strong>
\nLocal taxing units — counties, cities and school districts — assess and collect property taxes on all real and income-producing tangible personal property not exempt by state or federal law. Personal property — including automobiles, airplanes, boats and travel trailers — that does not produce income is mostly exempt from taxation.<\/p>\n

Total tax rates vary from location to location and may change from year to year.
\nA residential homestead exemption is available for all who owned property on Jan. 1. A greater exemption is available for taxpayers 65 and older or disabled.<\/p>\n

Homeowners need to file Form 50-114, Application for Residence Homestead Exemption, with their appropriate taxing jurisdictions between Jan. 1 and no later than April 30.
