The median home value in the San Antonio area rose 6% since last December, according to the San Antonio Board of Realtors.Although home values are up in the San Antonio metro area, tax relief may soon be on the horizon, assuming state lawmakers can make good on pledges to boost Texas' homestead exemption.. Payments can be made online, in person, or by mail. However, those made after the due date will be subject to a fine and slapped with 7% in interest.
Patrick’s proposed tax cut would potentially be supported with money from Texas’ $33 billion budget surplus. Early legislation filed in the House and Senate propose $15 billion from the surplus be allocated toward property tax relief.While Bexar County residents await potential relief, homeowners still have until May 15 to dispute this year's property tax bill. Residents can file a dispute by contacting the Bexar County Appraisal District.
