Values, exemptions, and statements
The Tax Assessor-Collector collects the tax, but the Bexar Appraisal District sets property values, ownership, exemptions, and tax ceilings. If you disagree with the assessed value, the county says the protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the notice is mailed, whichever is later.
If you do not receive a tax statement, the tax, lien, due date, penalty, and interest rules still apply. You can request a duplicate statement from the Information Center at (210) 335-2251, review property tax information, or use the county’s e-statement instructions to switch future certified statements to email after you open your account.
If you need the adopted rate for a taxing unit, review 2025 official tax rates and exemptions.
Property tax contacts
The tax office handles payments, statements, walk-in service, and general property tax questions. The appraisal district handles value, ownership, address, exemption, and protest matters, and the assessing line handles manufactured home release-of-lien questions.

Common questions
How do I search for a Bexar County property tax account?
Use the county account search tool. You can search by owner name, business name, property address, account number or Geo ID, CAD Property ID, or fiduciary number. For owner names, enter the last name first. For addresses, enter the street number and street name only.
What can I see after I open an account?
The account page shows the account number, ownership, mailing address, parcel address, current year tax amount, property value, exemptions, last payment, and payer information. From the same account page, you can print statements and receipts, pay the bill, and register for e-statements.
When are property taxes due in Bexar County?
The county says taxes are due in October and must be paid by January 31 of the following year. If the bill is not paid on time, taxes become delinquent on February 1 and penalty and interest apply. Half-payment and qualified installment options can change how you pay, but each plan has its own deadlines.
Who handles value and exemption questions?
The Bexar Appraisal District handles appraised values, ownership, exemptions, tax ceilings, and protests. The Tax Assessor-Collector uses the value and exemption information certified by the appraisal district to assess and collect the tax. If you need to challenge a value, the county says the protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the notice is mailed, whichever is later.
What if I never received my tax statement?
Not receiving the statement does not change the validity of the tax, the lien, the due date, or any penalty and interest that may apply. Ask the Information Center for a duplicate statement at (210) 335-2251. You can also check the account online and register for certified statements by email for future bills.
