The exceptions include agricultural land and timberland. A property's market value is the price for which it would sell when both buyer and seller want the best price and neither one is under pressure to buy or sell. Land used for farming and ranching can be valued on its capacity to produce crops or livestock, instead of its value on the real estate market. This appraisal is known as agricultural appraisal. Special timberland appraisal is also available to property owners whose land produces timber for products.
All property is taxable unless a federal or state law provides an exemption for it.
An exemption may exclude all or part of a property's value from taxation. Property owners have a right to reasonable notice of increases in appraised property value. Each property in a county must have one appraised value. An appraisal district in each county sets the value of your property each year. A chief appraiser is the chief administrator.
