1. Find out your tax jurisdictions.
My home, for example, is under the tax jurisdictions of the city, the regional water district, the county, the county’s hospital, the county’s college district, and the school district.Some counties have a handy property data search that lists your property’s tax jurisdictions, tax rates, and exemptions. To find if your county has a property data, search online for “YOUR COUNTY appraisal district property search.” It’s likely to be the second result that appears. Or go straight to the list of Texas Appraisal Districts at Texas CADand choose your county.
2. Find your property market value, exemptions, and tax rates.
These will be online, if available through your appraisal district.
3. Use this chart to calculate your taxes:
| City | County | Water | Hospital | College | School | |
| Market Value | ||||||
| - Exempt value | ||||||
| = Taxable value | ||||||
| x .01 | ||||||
| x tax rate/$100 value | ||||||
| = tax amount |
Add the final line together to get your total property taxes.
Sample: the WBAP building in Arlington, where Texas Property Tax Loans is located.
| City | County | Hospital | College | School | |
| Market Value | 503,243 | 503,243 | 503,243 | 503,243 | 503,243 |
| - Exempt value | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| = Taxable value | 503,243 | 503,243 | 503,243 | 503,243 | 503,243 |
| x .01 | 5032.43 | 5032.43 | 5032.43 | 5032.43 | 5032.43 |
| x tax rate/$100 value | .648 | .264 | .227897 | .13767 | 1.272 |
| = tax amount | 3,261.01 | 1,328.56 | 1,146.88 | 694.32 | 6,401.25 |
The total property tax for the WBAP building is: $12,832.02 (total of 3,261.01 + 1,328.56 + 1,146.88 + 694.32 + 6,401.25)
If the number for your property is a little overwhelming, consider a property tax loan.
