Which local taxing units may tax my property in Texas? - Site Owners Forums

All taxable property will pay county and school taxes. If the property is located inside a city’s boundaries, you also may pay city taxes. Special taxing units— junior college, hospital district, road district and others—may also tax your property.

State law allows the Comptroller’s office to advise local governments and taxpayers on property tax issues, but it cannot intervene in local tax matters.

The governing bodies of taxing units that vote on the appraisal district’s budget (county, city, school, junior college districts and some conservation and reclamation districts) elect the appraisal district’s directors. If the governing bodies do not select the county tax assessor-collector as a director, the county tax assessor-collector (if he or she collects the county’s taxes) serves as a non-voting director.

Each taxing unit located in that appraisal district pays its pro rata share of the budget. Some appraisal districts have adopted different funding mechanisms. Most appraisal districts base each taxing unit’s share on the amount of taxes levied by that unit compared to the total taxes levied by all units in the district.

State legislations allows the Comptroller's office to recommend local government authorities and taxpayers on property taxes issues, but it cannot intervene in local taxes matters.
