We bought a new house in Katy. I understand that the 1st year property tax is low as it is taxed as "unimproved". I have some questions that I hope you can help me understand:

1. Do we just wait for the County to mail us the tax bill in December 2007 and pay it off for 2007?
2. Do we have to file Homestead for 2008, and if so, by when?
3. How do we find out our appraised value and the 2008 tax amount? Will it be mailed to us Dec 2008 and we pay it off in next December?
4. Some people on this forum referred to property tax could be double within 3 years, but I dont understand how it could be. Isnt' there a cap pf 10% per year appreciation?

Thank you!

Hi Onyx, and welcome to Houston! Congrats on your purchase in Katy.

You can find out what your taxes are at any time, and can pay them at any time, by logging on to:

You can also find out about homestead eligibility and the process there, as well.
