To calculate your tax rate, take your home appraised value (minus applicable exemptions) and divide by 100, then multiply the result by the tax rate for the taxing entity/entities. This result should be your bill for the current calendar year, due by January 31.
If payment is not made before the deadline (delinquency date), the unpaid amount of the specific installment payment due is delinquent and incurs a penalty of 6% and 1% interest as provided by Section 33.01(c) of the Property Tax Code.
At the Harris County Appraisal District website of .hcad you can look up your account and see which if any exemptions have been applied to your account. In the top right corner of .hcad you can search for your account by account number, address or owner name.
