A taxing unit must identify its needs and prepare a budget to meet them. To assist counties, cities and school districts in this process, the chief appraiser prepares and certifies an estimate of the taxable value of property within that taxing unit to the tax assessor by April 30. Based on current year’s values, a taxing unit then must decide how much property tax revenue is necessary to fund that budget and what tax rate is needed to produce that amount. It also must determine the tax revenue it will need to pay its long-term debt. 

Cities, counties and school districts must hold a public hearing on the proposed budget and publicize the date, time and location. The proposed budget must be made available for inspection and posted on the city, county or school district website if one is maintained. Adoption of a county budget, in most cases, and a city budget that will require raising more revenue from property taxes than in the previous year, requires a separate vote to ratify the property tax increase reflected in the budget. The vote to adopt a county or city budget must be a record vote and the adopted budget must be posted on the city or county website if one is maintained.

Two major components of your property tax calculation are Exemptions and Tax Rates which are both determined by your Taxing Units (School District, County, City, etc.). 

*The chart shows taxing unit exemptions for properties in Robinson, TX. The exemption is taken from the assessed value of the property prior to applying the tax rate for each taxing unit. For an exemption of 20%, minimum $5,000, you would subtract 20% from your assessed property value before applying the rate or subtract $5,000, whichever is more. Example: Assessed Value of a home is $325,000, 20% of that home value would be $65,000. You would subtract $65,000 from $325,000, since it is more than $5,000, and that is the tax amount you would pay.
* Exemptions might include Homestead, Over 65, Disabled Person, Disabled Veteran, etc.  

Taxable Value= Assessed Value – Exemptions

Taxes Due= (Taxable Value * Tax Rate) / 100
