Property Values Explained
Market Value
This is the estimated value at which your property would sell in the current market. It serves as a baseline for understanding your property's financial worth.
Assessed/Net Appraised Value
After applying any eligible exemptions, this value represents the adjusted assessment of your property. It's a reflection of its value for taxation purposes after exemptions are considered.
Only properties with a homestead exemption are eligible for the assessed value limitation.
Taxable Value
This is the final value on which you are taxed. It's calculated based on the assessed/net appraised value minus any exemptionsĀ and any relevant tax rates.
Property taxes in your area pay for important services like schools, roads, police, and fire departments. Different local governments can tax all nonexempt property, including Texas counties and school districts, along with cities and special districts like hospitals or water districts.
