FAQ
In Texas, property taxes are based on the appraised value of the property, as determined by the county appraisal district. Given the hot-and-cold nature of the real estate market, the value of a commercial property can fluctuate, leading to changes in tax liabilities from year to year.
The tax is assessed on residential properties. The owner of a property is liable (though in the case of leases over twenty years, the tenant becomes liable). The revenue raised is used to fund the provision of services by local authorities and includes transfers between local authorities.
The property tax applies to all classes of property -- residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, open space, timberland, and vacant land. Special rules apply to some kinds of property, such as certain agricultural land and timberland. Public land is generally exempt.
This exemption is available where the property is vacant or is occupied by a person who is not a liable person. This could be, for example, a tenant, relative or friend. For the years 2013 to 2021, this exemption did not apply where the property was occupied by any person.
For real estate professionals, this means that payments received from clients, commissions, or any other form of non-employee compensation should be reported on Form 1099-NEC if they meet the $600 threshold.
In Texas, commercial real estate tax rates are higher than the national average at 1.83% rather than 1.08%.
When you sell taxable goods or services in Texas, or sell to Texas customers, you must collect the 6.25 percent state sales or use tax and the appropriate local sales or use tax. The local tax due cannot be more than 2 percent, so the most tax you can collect is 8.25 percent.
