Sample Property Tax Report for a Van Zandt County, TX property


Property Tax

The Texas Tax Code represents the main legal document regarding taxation in the State of Texas. Property taxes are determined at local levels, being used for paying for services such as schools, hospitals, colleges and others.

Market Value

The Van Zandt Central Appraisal District determines the appraised values, also known as market values, for all taxable real property. Market value has been defined by The Supreme Court as the sale price of real estate as agreed upon between a willing buyer and willing seller, with neither being under duress to buy or sell. Properties are reappraised at least once every three years, but they can be reappraised as often as every year if the market is active in that area.

Land value $33,700
Improvement value + $190,040
Market value = $223,740

Assessed value

Assessed value is the foundation upon which taxing authorities determine the amount of real estate taxes to be paid. In Texas, properties are assessed at 100% of their market values less any governmental subventions such as homestead cap loss value, or agricultural loss, if this applies.

Assessed value = $223,740
