2. Tax Rates may be the prior year’s rates – The current year’s tax rates are adopted around the September or October time frame of the tax year. The tax rates on real estate websites may reflect the prior year’s tax rates and not the current year’s tax rates.  The tax rates vary from year to year.

3. Tax assessed value – The county appraisal district establishes the tax assessed value as of the first of the tax year. The taxes on real estate websites reflect the prior year’s tax assessed value until the current year’s tax assessed value is certified.
