Protest Your 2026 Bexar County Property Taxes

Bexar County is the fourth-most populous county in Texas, with over 2 million residents. The median home value is approximately $300,000, and at an effective tax rate of about 2.03%, the typical Bexar County homeowner pays roughly $6,090 per year in property taxes - one of the higher tax burdens in the state.

The Bexar Appraisal District (BCAD) appraises all property in the county annually. In 2024, over 185,000 property tax protests were filed - 24% of all parcels - and an extraordinary 99% of those protests resulted in a reduced value. That's the highest informal success rate of any major Texas county. At the ARB level, 92% of protests still result in reductions.

San Antonio's housing market saw values decline 3.9% year-over-year in recent data, but BCAD assessed values may not fully reflect that correction. The county's diverse neighborhoods - from the historic districts near downtown and the Alamo to the established communities of Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills to the growing suburbs of Schertz and Converse - all face the same appraisal process.

With nearly every protest in Bexar County resulting in a reduction, the question for homeowners isn't whether to protest - it's how much you'll save when you do.
