Which situation sounds most like yours?
You do not need to know the professional term. Choose the closest statement.
The basics
Do the right work in a clear order.
Identify the document
A value notice, tax bill, receipt, and collection notice require different actions.
Use the right office
BCAD handles values and exemptions. The Tax Office handles bills, payments, and balances.
Protect the printed date
Do not rely on a general calendar when a current document gives a specific date.
Verify actual payment
An escrow estimate or bank withdrawal is not proof the correct tax account was paid.
Save every confirmation
Keep statements, receipts, reference numbers, names, dates, and written answers.
Free tool

Common questions
Clear answers to get started.
Confirm dates, rights, and requirements with the responsible agency or qualified professional.
Who sets the property value?
Bexar Central Appraisal District appraises property and handles exemptions. The Tax Office collects bills for the jurisdictions it serves.
Why are market and taxable value different?
Taxable value can reflect appraisal limits and exemptions and may differ among taxing units.
What if I never received the bill?
Do not assume the tax or deadline disappeared. Check the official account and correct the mailing information.
Can I pay in parts?
Official options depend on eligibility, year, balance, enrollment, and deadlines. Ask the Tax Office what is available for your account.
Does escrow mean it was paid?
No. Verify the servicer’s actual payment and the live Tax Office balance for the correct account and year.
Next step
Confirm the year, the office, the balance, and the next date.
