Notice to Property owners in overlapping appraisal districts
In Texas, the appraisal district for each county appraises all taxable property for county purposes. However, there are instances where the appraisal district's boundaries may overlap into other counties. The Waller County Appraisal District  overlaps into Fort Bend County and Harris County to appraise properties for Katy Independent School District, Waller Independent School District, and the cities of Katy and Waller.

If your property is in one of these four taxing entities and Harris or Fort Bend County, then your property is being appraised by more than one appraisal district. When filing any papers with the appraisal districts, you must file the information with each district. The names and addresses of the appraisal districts are listed below:

Harris County Appraisal District
P.O. Box 920975, Houston, Texas 77292-0975, 713-957-7800

Fort Bend County Appraisal District
2801 B.F. Terry Blvd., Rosenburg, Texas  77471-5600, 281-344-8623

The law requires the chief appraisers to have a written understanding that each appraiser has use of information, including an exemption application, rendition, or other property owner report. The chief appraisers will eliminate differences in their appraisal records data, including the property's ownership, description, and physical characteristics. To the extent coordination is feasible, they will work together to appraise property at the same value.

Below are some types of information that, when filling, you must file with each appraisal district office:

  1. Current mailing address and any changes in property ownership.
  2. Homestead exemption application to qualify for lower taxes.
  3. Agricultural or timber appraisal application for special land appraisal based on productivity use.
  4. Property rendition, if required, to list your property and to give your opinion of its value.
  5. Property protest to the appraisal review board (ARB) if you disagree with any appraisal district action on your property.
  6. Any other information or reports that may help the appraisal district office list and appraise your property.

Texas Property Taxes: Taxpayers' Rights, Remedies & Responsibilities, published by the State Comptroller of Public Accounts, has more information about filing reports and their deadlines. for a copy , please call or visit any of the appraisal district offices listed above or call the State Comptroller's property tax assistance at 1-800-252-9121.
