Buyer
Beware

When buying real estate property, do not assume property taxes will remain the same. A change in ownership may reset the assessed value of the property to full market value, which could result in higher property taxes. Please use our Tax Estimator to approximate your new property taxes.

The Property Appraiser does not send tax bills and does not set or collect taxes. Please visit the Tax Collector's website directly for additional information.

The Homestead Exemption saves property owners thousands of dollars each year. Do not jeopardize your Homestead by renting your property.

Before buying real estate property, be aware that non-ad valorem assessments may have a significant impact on your property tax bill.

Tangible Personal Property Extension Requirements

The law requires a Tangible Personal Property (TPP) tax return to be filed with the Property Appraiser on or before April 1.

  • Each request for extension must include:
         a. Tangible Personal Property folio number
         b. Name of the taxable entity
         c. Property address
         d. Discretionary requests (additional 15 days, for a total of 45 days) must include the reason the additional extension should be granted
  • All Tangible Personal Property returns granted a 30-day extension must be returned, postmarked by the United States Postal Service, commercial mail delivery service, or delivered to the Property Appraiser's Office by May 1 (or the next business day, if May 1 falls on a weekend or legal holiday) to avoid penalties.
