Property Tax
The Texas legislature does not have the constitutional authority to levy a state property tax. The only allowable property taxes are property taxes levied by local jurisdictions.
All privately owned property in Texas, whether located in a big city or a sparsely populated rural area, is subject to property taxation by the county and school district in which it is located, unless specifically exempted by the Texas Constitution. However, most private property owners in the state pay property taxes to additional local jurisdictions. For example, in addition to county and school district property taxes, private property in a city might be subject to city property taxes, hospital district property taxes, and junior college district property taxes.
