WHO WILL SEE HIGHER PROPERTY TAX BILLS? New luxury homes and apartment owners face the largest levels of property tax increase. An analysis prepared by property tax consultant, O’Connor, estimates 2025 property tax increases for homeowners by about $533 million and for commercial property owners about $515 million, based on the initial values. In Harris County, most property owners are learning of their recently released property values. Of 1,115,999 single-family homes, just over half, or 56% have value increases for 2025. Out of remaining residential properties, 31.8% saw a decrease in value while 12.2% showed no change. When focusing on value ranges, 84.3% of homes valued at $750K and higher had value increases by HCAD.

NEW CONSTRUCTION AND LUXURY HOMES SEE THE LARGEST GAINS New luxury homes have an out-sized portion of the increases compared to existing homes up for reappraisal. The average uptick for reappraisals of existing homes is a diminutive 3.82%, while the total including new homes are up an average of 9.92%.
