Comal County property tax rates are approximately 2.2% to 2.5% of assessed value, which is competitive for the Texas Hill Country region. Many luxury properties qualify for agricultural exemptions (Ag exemption) that can significantly reduce annual tax burden. For a $700,000 home, expect around $15,000-$17,500 annually in property taxes before any exemptions. Texas has no state income tax, which helps offset property tax costs for many homeowners.
