Property taxes fund local services, such as public schools, fire and police departments, and maintenance and upkeep of city and county roads. Appraisal districts do not set tax rates, but they do value the properties, both commercial and residential, that are taxed. If you think your property is overvalued, an appraisal district is the one to contact.
Beginning in 2008, House Bill 1010 dictates that appraisal district boundaries are the same as county boundaries. This greatly simplifies searches on properties near county borders. Read the Taxpayer's Rights, Remedies, and Responsibilities.
