Property Tax
Unless exempt, all personal and real property in Beaumont, Texas is subject to a tax on the assessed value of property. The Tax Assessor-Collector will create the certified tax roll and levy taxes each year:
Calculating Tax:
Appraised Value: $100,000
Less 20% optional exemption (100,000 x 20%) – 20,000
Less state-mandated general homestead – 25,000
Equals Taxable Value = $55,000
X Tax Rate per $100/value ($1.30/100) x 0.013
Equals Taxes Due = $715.00
The mill levy rate is based on the location of the property.
