About this tool

Estimates what the school tax ceiling freezes your school-district bill at, and what happens to it later. It is free, needs no account or email address, and runs entirely in your browser — the numbers you type are never sent to this site, stored, or logged.

The ceiling rules come from the Texas Tax Code sections cited on this page. If you work at a senior centre, a library, or an organisation helping older homeowners, you are welcome to link to this page or print from it. That is what it is for.
