Value question or bill question? Bexar has two different offices

The clean split starts with BCAD. It decides the property's appraised value, reviews exemption applications, and receives protests. If the number on your notice looks wrong or your homestead exemption is missing, that is the office you need.

The taxing units on the account adopt their own rates. The Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector then uses certified values, exemptions, and those rates to prepare statements and collect payments for the units its office serves. Another taxing unit may use a different collector, so read the office name on the statement. Both offices keep live contact and location pages because branches and hours can change. The short version is still handy: value or exemption, BCAD; statement or payment, the collector shown on the bill.
