Accurate Property Tax Calculators

[Joe Wang]

Hi BP Austin, 

OOS investor here. Are there any accurate property tax calculators for Northern Austin properties ? (Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Pflugerville, etc). I see that some of the counties have calculators but not sure how reliable they are. I understand of course, that they are poised to change and property tax assessment is a whole ordeal there, but ideally would like to have good estimates before a purchase, given that they are such a major expense. 

Any recommendations would be great. Cheers

Both CADs, Wilco and Travis, have the current tax rates and assessed values posted on their respective sites. Just look up your target property on the site by the address and multiply the assessed value by the tax rate. And that’s your current property tax.
