99.9% Client Success Rate and $2,192 Average Bill Reduction, Serving San Antonio & all of Bexar County
Protest Deadline: May 15If you own property in Bexar County, San Antonio, Helotes, Converse, Live Oak, or anywhere in between, your San Antonio property tax bill is almost certainly higher than it needs to be. Protesting your Bexar County property taxes with a professional property tax protest agent is one of the most effective ways to reduce what you owe. With median home values near $260,000 and an average tax rate of 2.21%, the average Bexar County property owner pays roughly $5,746 per year in residential property taxes, and commercial owners often pay far more. Even a modest $30,000 overvaluation costs you $600-$700 every year and that overpayment compounds each year you don’t challenge it.
Resolute serves Bexar County as part of our Texas property tax protest coverage and in 2025 delivered a 99.9% success rate with an average bill reduction of $2,192 per client. Those aren’t projections, those are actual results from actual clients.
I have always had deep ties to the San Antonio area. My family has lived in the area for generations so I deeply care about helping the local community. What I love about this work is the relationship piece, when a family calls after getting their results and says, ‘We had no idea we were overpaying that much,’ that’s why I do this. Every property is someone’s home. We never forget that.
Nicole Cowan leads Resolute’s Central Texas team with 9 years of property tax and real estate experience. She works alongside Justin Dean (10 years as an appraiser at McLennan CAD) and Jacob Perschke (former commercial appraiser at McLennan CAD and banking auditor). Together they cover San Antonio from Alamo Heights to the Southside, from Stone Oak to the Westside.
BCAD uses mass appraisal models to value every property in the county. These models are designed for efficiency, not accuracy at the individual property level. Here’s where they consistently fall short:
Bexar County announced they’re moving to biennial appraisals starting in 2026, meaning market values will only be reassessed every two years in odd-numbered years. That makes protesting in 2026 even more critical, the value you end up with could be your baseline for two full years.
Settling your value through protest not only reduces your tax burden for the current year but also locks in that value for the following year, giving you a reprieve from the ever-present cycle of increasing property valuations.
– Nicole Cowan, Central Texas Residential Lead at ResoluteResolute’s near-perfect success rate in Bexar County demonstrates what happens when experienced people, not algorithms, handle your protest. When you sign up with Resolute, here’s what happens:
We analyze your property individually using proprietary data and technology. Our agents build a case specific to your property and your neighborhood. No mass-processing. No cookie-cutter approaches.
We file all the paperwork with BCAD and schedule your hearing. You don’t touch a single form.
We show up for you meeting with the district on your behalf, presenting your case, and fighting for the highest reduction possible. Informal review, ARB hearing, and beyond.
You only pay if we save you money. No reduction, no fee. That’s our promise.
Bexar County property taxes are calculated by multiplying your property’s taxable value by the combined rate of all applicable taxing entities. Every property in Bexar County is subject to at least six taxing entities: Bexar County, the City of San Antonio (or applicable municipality), a school district, Alamo Community College, University Health, and the San Antonio River Authority. Additional rates may apply if your property falls within an Emergency Services District.
| Taxing Entity | 2025 Rate (per $100) |
|---|---|
| Bexar County | ~$0.29 (approximate) |
| City of San Antonio | $0.54159 |
| North East ISD | $0.9822 |
| Northside ISD | $1.0049 |
| San Antonio ISD | $0.9296 |
| South San Antonio ISD | $1.1959 |
| Judson ISD | $1.0796 |
| Alamo Community College | $0.149150 |
The combined tax rate for most San Antonio properties typically falls between 2.0% and 2.5% of assessed value, depending on which school district serves your property. School district taxes represent the largest share of your total bill. For a home assessed at $300,000 with a homestead exemption, the taxable value after the $140,000 school district exemption brings the effective bill significantly lower.

The Bexar County Appraisal District (BCAD) appraises all taxable property in Bexar County using a mass appraisal process. Rather than inspecting each property individually, BCAD uses statistical models to value hundreds of thousands of properties simultaneously based on comparable sales, property characteristics, and neighborhood data. Your assessed value is intended to reflect the market value of your property as of January 1 of each tax year.
Two values matter on your notice: market value and assessed value. For homesteaded properties, Texas law caps the increase in assessed value at 10% per year regardless of how much market value rises. This means a home that appreciated 25% in a given year can only see its taxable assessed value rise by 10%. Non-homesteaded properties, including investment and rental properties, carry no such cap and can be reassessed at full market value each year.
Because BCAD relies on mass appraisal models, individual property conditions, deferred maintenance, functional issues, and hyperlocal market factors are frequently missed. When your assessed value does not reflect your property’s true market value, or when comparable properties nearby are assessed lower than yours, you have grounds to protest.
San Antonio has been one of the fastest-growing major cities in the United States for over a decade. Population growth, demand from out-of-state buyers relocating from California and the Northeast, and a wave of new construction have all pushed market values upward across Bexar County. Residential values increased just over 2% for tax year 2025, while commercial property values rose 7.68%. Even a modest 2% increase on a $300,000 home adds $6,000 to your assessed value, which translates directly into a higher tax bill.
For homesteaded properties, the 10% annual cap provides some protection but does not prevent creeping increases year over year. For investment properties, rental properties, and commercial real estate with no homestead cap, the exposure is significantly greater. Protesting your assessed value annually is the only mechanism available to push back against this trend. For more on how rising valuations affect property owners, visit our property tax insights.
Bexar County property tax bills are mailed in October each year and are due by January 31 of the following year without penalty. The Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector, Albert Uresti, administers tax collection for Bexar County and 66 additional taxing jurisdictions. Payments can be made in the following ways:
Taxes not paid by January 31 accrue penalty and interest beginning February 1. By July 1, delinquent accounts are turned over to a delinquent tax attorney and additional collection fees apply. If you are waiting on the outcome of a protest, you are still responsible for paying your taxes by the deadline to avoid penalties. Any overpayment resulting from a successful protest will be refunded.
