Bulverde, Texas
Bulverde is a city in Comal County on the southern edge of the Texas Hill Country, roughly 24 miles north of San Antonio. The surrounding landscape is one of limestone hills, oak groves, and the creek valleys of Cibolo Creek. Long a rural ranching area, it has grown with residential development spreading out from the San Antonio metropolitan area.
Property here runs through the Comal Central Appraisal District and the county tax office — the homestead exemption, the appraisal cap, protests, and any MUD, PID, or special districts all sit at the parcel level. The Comal County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
