How the Houston property tax estimate works

Texas does not impose one statewide property tax rate. Local school districts, counties, cities and special districts adopt their own rates. Estimate each taxing unit using its own taxable value and adopted rate, then add the results. The statewide school homestead exemption does not apply to every taxing unit.

Useful starting point

A $350,000 homestead with the $140,000 school exemption, a 1.05% school rate and a 1.10% rate for other units with no exemptions: $210,000 × 1.05% + $350,000 × 1.10% = $6,055 a year. Rates here are illustrative, not a particular Houston bill.
