What the increase costs you
Type the assessed value from your Bexar Appraisal District notice. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
$49.26 a year
That is the average San Antonio homestead (City taxable value $231,356), compared with keeping last year’s rate. About $4.10 a month. Type your own value above.
City share only. The City rate went from 54.159¢ to 56.288¢ per $100 of taxable value, up 2.129¢ (3.9%). Your school district, Bexar County, University Health and Alamo Colleges set their own rates. The City receives about 27% of the property tax San Antonio owners pay.
Where the money goes
The General Fund is where property tax goes: police, fire, streets, parks, libraries. FY 2027: $1.77 billion, about $1,231 per resident. Property tax covers about $492.7 million of it; sales tax and CPS Energy cover most of the rest.

Proposed figures; Council’s changes before adoption were under 1% of the fund.
How we know
Council amended the proposed budget before adopting it; the reported General Fund changes were about $4.5 million over two years, so the shares barely move. This page will switch to the adopted figures when the City publishes them. The per-resident figure divides the whole fund by the 2020 Census count; the budget does not split this money by district. The General Fund is not the whole City budget: the airport, solid waste, development services and the capital program are separate funds, $4.4 billion in all.
Where capital money goes, district by district
The capital budget (roads, drainage, parks, buildings, the airport) is separate: $1,410.0M in FY 2027, paid for by bonds, other City debt and airport revenue. Most of it cannot be put on a map:
- In one district (on the map) $270.5M 19.2%
- Spans several districts $71.9M 5.1%
- Citywide $208.0M 14.8%
- Airport (airport revenue, not property tax) $859.5M 61.0%
Tap a district for its projects. Figures are FY 2027 money for projects in that district alone.
Share of homesteads with a frozen City tax (65+ or disabled): under 42% 42–45% 45–50% 50–55% 55% and over. Frozen homes pay nothing more from this increase.
Voted yes Voted no. The Mayor, who voted no, represents the whole city.

Not a verdict on the vote. Nothing in the budget ties a district’s projects to how its member voted; the projects were planned before this vote.
How we counted, and what to watch for
Capital money. All 239 projects in the budget’s Table 4 capital program, each with its own council district field; they sum exactly to the budget’s capital totals. A project in several districts is listed under each but counted in none. Only the debt part of your tax rate (21.150¢) connects to capital spending, and the airport uses no property tax. One year is lumpy: a single road can double a district’s figure, so each project’s six-year total is listed too. The 2022 bond projects also appear in our bond project tracker; never add the two together.
Residents. The City publishes no population for its districts, so we counted every 2020 Census block in Bexar County into the district it falls in. The result matches the City: 1,434,359 residents against the Census total of 1,434,625, District 2 at 142,644 against 142,704 reported, an 8.82% spread against 8.84%. Districts are drawn to equal size (all within 5%), so per resident mostly rescales the totals. The counts are from 2020, and per resident is not benefit per resident: a downtown park serves every district.
Frozen homes. From the Bexar County parcel map: every homestead taxed by the City, placed in its district by the middle of its parcel, counted as frozen if it holds the over-65 or disabled exemption. It finds 253,163 City homesteads against 257,396 in the budget, and 45.7% frozen against the budget’s 47.4%; the budget counts what it expects for FY 2027. We keep only the ten district totals, never a parcel, owner or address.

Why you will hear both $49 and $35
Both are correct. They answer different questions.
| Figure | What it compares | Arithmetic |
|---|---|---|
| $49.26 | The same home, the same year, at the new rate versus the old rate. The effect of the vote alone. | $231,356 × 2.129¢ per $100 |
| $35.43 | The City’s figure: last year’s average bill against this year’s. The average homestead’s taxable value fell, from $233,909 to $231,356, which offsets part of the rate rise. | $1,266.83 → $1,302.26 |
The calculator gives the first kind, because the second needs your taxable value for both years. If your value went up this year, your bill rose by more than the calculator shows. If it went down, by less.
Tax plus fees: the City’s own estimate
Copied from the City’s Taxpayer Impact Statement (page 5 of the proposed budget), for the City’s “typical residential ratepayer.” Nothing in this table is our arithmetic.
| Service or fee | FY 2026 | FY 2027 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| City property tax (average homestead) | $1,266.83 | $1,302.26 | +$35.43 |
| Solid waste fee (96-gallon cart) | $369.00 | $378.00 | +$9.00 |
| Environmental fee | $36.00 | $39.00 | +$3.00 |
| Parks environmental fee | $24.00 | $27.00 | +$3.00 |

47% of homesteads pay nothing more
San Antonio voters froze the City tax of homeowners aged 65 or older, or disabled, in May 2005 (Proposition 3). 122,021 of 257,396 homesteads carry that freeze, so this rate increase does not raise their City tax. They also get $85,000 off their value on top of the 20% homestead exemption.
How Council voted, 17 September 2026
7 to 4. Texas requires at least 7 of the 11 votes to raise the rate this way, so it passed with none to spare. The first City property tax rate increase in more than three decades.

What this page cannot tell you
- Your total bill. This is the City’s share only; your school district, the county and others set their own rates.
- Your exact change from last year. That depends on how your home’s value moved; the calculator isolates the rate change.
- A frozen senior bill. It depends on the year your freeze began; it is on your tax statement.
- The adopted budget. Figures come from the proposed budget, whose rates match those adopted. The FY 2028 increase in it is a plan, not a decision.
- Every exemption. Disabled veterans, surviving spouses and some others qualify for exemptions not modeled here.
Nobody commissioned this page, no agency reviewed it, and there is nothing to buy on it.
