April 17 is the deadline to file property tax renditions with your county appraisal district.
A rendition is a list of the taxable inventory, furniture and fixtures, machinery, equipment, and other property owned or managed as of January 1 each year. The appraisal district uses the information to set property values.
According to Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar, a rendition allows property owners to record their opinion of their property’s value and ensures that the appraisal district notifies property owners before changing a recorded value. Exempt property, such as church property and equipment used for farming, is not subject to rendition.
Owners whose property was damaged by storm, flood, or fire last year may file a special decreased value report. Filing the decreased value report could lower those owners’ final tax bills for 2023, Hegar said.
