About Property Tax
Every year, the Bexar County Appraisal District (BCAD) decides the property value of your home. You will receive a tax statement with an assessed value of your home. This will tell you how much your home would sell for in comparison to other homes in your neighborhood. The appraised value will affect the amount of property taxes you owe.
If you believe your home was assessed too high, you can appeal the assessment with the County, commonly referred to as protesting.
Bexar County Appraisal District will schedule a hearing to give you the opportunity to protest your taxes. At the hearing you will speak to a panel and explain why you think the taxes should be lower. You can attend the hearing in person, virtually or telephone conference phone call.
