Watch the mail for your property appraisal from your county appraisal district. Remember: The appraisal is just 1 component of how your property tax bill is calculated. Your bill's real determiners are the property tax rates that local governments will set later this year.

Voters in 20 of Texas' largest counties will see 3 candidates for their county’s #appraisal district board of directors on the ballot Saturday for the 1st time. Our research brief has more about this new elected office and its responsibilities: bit.ly/3InN8PN #txlege

Voters 5/4 will consider $17.4B in bonds, which are repaid with prop. tax revenue. When voters approve a bond, local gov't must collect more property tax to repay it than would be collected if the bond didn't pass. See if propositions are on your ballot: debtsearch.brb.texas.gov

A higher property #appraisal, if accurate, means a home or business is more valuable. That’s good news! The property tax you pay depends on #tax rates set later by local gov'ts. Make a difference by giving input to your local gov'ts online. More: bit.ly/3x5kQF9 #txlege

On Saturday, 20 counties (of 50 eligible) held elections for appraisal district boards of directors for the 1st time. Runoffs will be 6/15 in 6 of those counties to determine the winner of 1 or more of the positions. Our brief about these new positions: bit.ly/3InN8PN

A higher #appraisal doesn’t necessarily mean a higher property #tax bill. Tax bills go up ONLY because local jurisdictions adopt bigger budgets and the tax rates needed to fund them. Your property appraisal simply determines your share of the total taxes to be collected. #txlege
