Texas Law Changes How Tax Rates Get Calculated

This law doesn't directly change your property taxes, but it makes it slightly harder for local governments to raise them without asking voters first.

The new rules make it a bit harder for cities and counties to raise property taxes without voter approval. Your taxes won't automatically go down, but increases may be smaller.

Property tax increases may be smaller since local governments face tighter limits before they have to ask voters for approval. The impact depends on your home's value and local tax decisions.

Since you likely own higher-value property, the new limits on automatic tax increases could save you more money when local governments want to raise rates.
