Understanding The Property Tax Process
Property taxes are local taxes that provide the largest source of money local governments use to pay for schools, streets, roads, police, fire protection and many other services. Texas law establishes the process followed by local officials in determining the value for property, ensuring that values are equal and uniform, setting tax rates and collecting taxes. Texas has no state property tax. The Legislature has authorized local governments to collect the tax. The state does not set tax rates, collect taxes or settle disputes between you and your local governments.
Please Note: Taxes are not collected at the Appraisal District. Tax payments are to be submitted to the Delta County Tax Assessor-Collector’s office, PO Box 388, Cooper, TX 75432. Also, “Tax Ceiling Certificates” regarding tax freezes on Homestead properties are issued at the appraisal district, however “Tax Certificates” and receipts verifying payment of taxes are issued by the Tax Assessor-Collector’s office.
