Closed on a rural rental SFH in Hardin County in July. Just got the new tax bill, no big deal. Then, next day, comes a tax bill from Tyler County, too. The house sits on two lots that are squarely inside of Hardin County -- nothing inside--or even within shooting distance of--Tyler County.

No mention of this at closing with the title company. Anyone else have this happen?

Is one of them for school taxes? Those don't always cut along county lines so you can end up dealing with 2 counties/collectors

Thank you Danny. I believe you are right. And woo boy do school taxes take up a large portion of ad valorem assessment! Almost 2x the "regular" property taxes.

Counties don't do the appraisals.

Taxes around here seem to be about 2 parts to the school district and 1 part to everything else.

Property values have risen so much, they should be swamped with cash, but no, the appetite is insatiable.

Bullard ISD in Cherokee and Smith Counties (east texas) are the same.

I'm in Jefferson county but in Hardin Jefferson school district, so I pay property tax to Jefferson county for the county tax and Hardin county for the school district tax.

I'm guessing Warren ISD? If so their district extends into Hardin County....Title company should have made it clear you would be taxed by Hardin and Tyler Counties..

Correct!

They didn't, but I'm not complaining ... to much. Have to pay school taxes somewhere and Warren's rates are about the same as Kountze's

Pay attention to your Ag exemption as well. When I bought land in Robertson County the tax office advised me that the ag exemption was intact and good. Property is in Bryan ISD so also has Brazos county taxes. Did not think to check with Brazos. Tax season rolls around and Robertson county had ag exemption, but Brazos did not. Huge tax bill from them.

Lots of phone calls and learn that Brazos immediately removed ag exemption when property transfers. I did not recall getting any notice of such and went in circles, but eventually gave up and paid the bill. Got it fixed the next year.

Yeah. Neither do the 22 administrative positions. At least people pay to go watch football games.
