How it works
In Texas, property is appraised at market value as of January 1. The assessment ratio is 100%, so assessed value effectively equals market value unless reduced by exemptions. The City of Austin adopts a property tax rate expressed per $100 of taxable value. To estimate the city portion of property tax, taxable value is multiplied by the adopted city rate. This tool applies the official City of Austin adopted rate to a user-provided taxable value to estimate the city share of property taxes.
Examples
If a property has a taxable value of 400,000 and the adopted city rate is 0.574017 per $100 of taxable value, the estimated city property tax would be calculated by multiplying the taxable value by 0.00574017. In this example, the estimated city portion would be approximately 2,296.07. This reflects only the City of Austin portion and not other local taxing units.
Limitations and important notes
This calculator estimates only the City of Austin portion of property tax. Actual property tax bills typically include additional levies from counties, school districts, and other local taxing units. Exemptions, appraisal changes, and district-specific factors may affect taxable value. This tool does not replicate an official tax bill and does not perform parcel-level lookup.
