Olmos Park, Texas
Olmos Park is a small, affluent city in Bexar County, an enclave completely surrounded by the city of San Antonio just north of downtown. Developed as a residential suburb in the 1920s, it is known for its oak-lined streets, park-like setting, and large estate homes from that era. Though bordered on all sides by San Antonio, it remains a separate incorporated municipality with its own government.
Property here runs through the Bexar 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 Bexar County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
