Information Center: Ad Valorem Property Tax

Texas Property Tax Forms

Most of the forms used in Texas property tax matters may be found on the website of the Texas Comptroller. The Comptroller is the state official responsible for approving general forms for property tax purposes.

Some appraisal districts have devised their own forms for certain filings or have modified the form prescribed by the Comptroller. These appraisal district's forms are often found on their websites, including the following:

Bexar County Appraisal District

Collin Central Appraisal District

Dallas Central Appraisal District

Harris County Appraisal District

Tarrant Appraisal District

While the Comptroller forms should be sufficient for virtually any filing, GPD suggests that you check the website of any appraisal district that has such a site to determine if it has issued a form of its own. However, in cases where the Comptroller has mandated the use of a specific form or requires that any form used be approved by the Comptroller (such as rendition forms), it is important to determine if an appraisal district's form has been approved by the Comptroller before using such form. All forms found on the Comptroller's website have, of course, been approved.

A new law recently passed by the Texas Legislature allows a property owner to designate a specific person or entity or a specific address to which a tax refund should be paid or sent. The Comptroller has issued a new form for such a designation.

The Texas Commission of Environmental Quality provides the exemption application for pollution control equipment. The information and forms relating to this particular exemption are often difficult to locate. The most recent information is available on the TCEQ website.
