Harrison - Search for property tax accounts

The quickest public starting point is the Harrison online search and payment tool. It lets you search property records and use the view and pay function from one place.

• Search Term
• Search By selection such as Owner Name, Account Number, Account Key, or Legal Description

Open the official search tool, choose the field that matches the information you have, and then enter your search term.

• Go to search and pay property taxes online.
• Select how you want to search, such as Owner Name, Account Number, Account Key, or Legal Description.
• Enter your search term and review the matching results.
• Use the property record to view tax information and continue to payment if needed.

For name searches, enter the last name first, such as Smith John, Smith J, or Smith.

Property search tips

Harrison Central Appraisal District also provides a broader property search with owner name, property address, account number, and DBA options. You can use the Harrison Central Appraisal District property search when you want appraisal-side details or need another way to find a parcel.

• Make your search term more specific if you get too many matches.
• Do not use suffixes when searching an address.
• If an address search fails, try only the first word of the street name.
• If you do not know the street number, search by the street name alone.
• You can use the percent sign for broader matching, such as 100% or Pine%.

The appraisal district notes that current-year information is a work in progress and prior-year data is informational only. Legal descriptions and acreage should be verified before using them for legal purposes or documents.

Tax rates and exemptions

Tax rates are set by the governing bodies of the taxing jurisdictions, while property values are determined by the appraisal district. Harrison County is listed at a 2025 tax rate of 0.3428000 per $100.

You can also review official exemption information through the appraisal district. Available listings include homestead, over-65, disability, and veteran exemptions, with amounts varying by taxing entity.

Use the tax rates page to check current listed rates and the available exemptions page to review exemption amounts by entity.

Only one of the disability or over-65 exemptions may be claimed in the same tax year, according to the appraisal district FAQ.

Protests, notices, and tax timing

If your market value increased by at least $1,000 over the last year, Harrison Central Appraisal District says you will receive a Notice of Appraised Value in the spring. The notice includes market value, assessed or net appraised value, and taxable value.

If you think the market value is wrong, the protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the notice is mailed, whichever is later. Protests may be started by mail, in person, or through the public portal. Informal meetings begin April 16, and owners who do not accept an informal settlement can go on to an Appraisal Review Board hearing.

For broader state deadlines, including billing and delinquency dates, review Texas property tax law deadlines. The statewide calendar explains that taxes imposed the previous year generally become delinquent on February 1 if the bill was mailed on or before January 10.

Truth in Taxation and tax bill context

Harrison Central Appraisal District directs taxpayers to the Truth in Taxation system to review estimated taxes and proposed rate information during the tax rate adoption period. Property owners can search for a property there and subscribe to notification updates.

The Harrison County Tax Office collects property tax for the county and other jurisdictions. The county states that failure to send or receive a tax bill does not affect the validity of the tax, penalty, interest, due date, tax lien, or collection procedures.

If you need billing or collection help rather than appraisal information, the county Tax Assessor-Collector is the office to contact.
