Hunt County Property Tax

Hunt County property tax comes in two numbers that are easy to confuse. The county's own adopted rate is $0.333241 per $100 of value for the 2025 tax year - and it is only the Hunt County government's portion. Your actual bill is the sum of every overlapping taxing unit that covers your parcel: your school district, your city, the county, and the countywide hospital district. Combined, the typical total effective rate in Hunt County is about 1.30% of market value - an estimate from Census ACS 2023 5-year data (median real estate taxes paid $2,736 divided by median home value $210,900). Because the mix of taxing units differs from parcel to parcel, there is no single "Hunt County rate" for a full bill; the figures below are worked examples.

Hunt County's own rate is a single consolidated rate of $0.333241 - maintenance and operations $0.327882 plus a small debt-service (interest and sinking) rate of $0.005359 - with no separate Road and Bridge line. It is one of the lower county-own rates in the counties we cover, and the county reduced it for 2025. What makes a Hunt County bill distinctive is the fourth unit: the countywide Hunt Memorial Hospital District (Hunt Regional Healthcare) levies its own $0.207241 rate on every parcel in the county, so a Hunt County parcel stacks four taxing units where many Texas counties stack three.

How a typical Hunt County (Greenville) bill is built (taxing-unit stack)

School district City County Hospital district

City of Greenville / Greenville ISD parcel - adopted rates per $100 (2025 tax year)

Taxing unit	Rate /$100	Type
Greenville ISD	$0.966900	School
City of Greenville	$0.568000	City
Hunt County	$0.333241	County

Nominal total	~$2.075382	~2.08%

Rates from the Hunt County Tax Office 2025 tax-rate schedule (Property Tax Code 26.16). This example is for a City of Greenville / Greenville ISD parcel; your total depends on your city, school district, and any special district, but the countywide hospital district applies everywhere. Other stacks in the county include Commerce, Quinlan, Caddo Mills, Lone Oak, Celeste, and Wolfe City (Caddo Mills ISD, $1.255200, is the county's highest school rate). Some developments add a municipal utility district.

Where your property-tax dollar goes

Greenville ISD ~46.6% City ~27.4% County ~16.1% Hospital ~9.9%

On a typical City of Greenville / Greenville ISD parcel, Greenville ISD is about 46.6% of the nominal bill ($0.966900 / $2.075382 nominal total), the City of Greenville about 27.4%, Hunt County about 16.1%, and the Hunt Memorial Hospital District about 9.9%. Percentages are rounded and use the nominal posted rates before any exemption - after the $140,000 school-district homestead exemption, the taxable amount on the school line drops sharply, which is part of why the county's typical effective rate (about 1.30%) sits well below the nominal stacked rate (about 2.08%).

Who appraises, bills, and collects in Hunt County

• The Hunt County Appraisal District sets appraised values, processes homestead exemptions, and runs protests (including online protest), at hunt-cad.org.
• The Hunt County Tax Assessor-Collector collects the property tax and hosts the online payment and property-search portal, and also handles vehicle registration and titling, at hctax.info (903-408-4000).

For value questions, start with the appraisal district; to pay, start with the Hunt County Tax Assessor-Collector.

Homestead exemption, the 10% cap, and key dates

If you own and occupy your home as your principal residence on January 1, you can claim a residence homestead exemption, and you generally apply through the Hunt County Appraisal District. For a Greenville ISD parcel, the statewide school-district exemption removes $140,000 from the value the school district taxes for the 2025 tax year. If the owner is 65 or older, an additional $60,000 ISD exemption applies.

Some local units (the county, the city, the hospital district, and the school district) may also grant their own local-option homestead exemptions. We were unable to confirm the exact Hunt County, City of Greenville, hospital-district, and Greenville ISD local-option amounts from an official per-entity table in this pass, so the calculator below models only the statutory school-district homestead and treats its output as the conservative (high) end. Confirm the exact local-option exemptions on your account with the Hunt County Appraisal District.

Separately, the 10% homestead appraisal cap limits how much your homestead's appraised (taxed) value can rise to 10% per year, not counting new improvements. The cap applies to the appraised value used for your bill, not the market value the appraisal district sets, and it starts the year after you first qualify for the homestead exemption.

Key dates: payment is due January 31 and unpaid amounts become delinquent February 1. The statewide protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after your appraisal notice is delivered, whichever is later. Texas Tax Code Section 1.06 rolls any deadline that falls on a weekend or holiday to the next business day. We were not able to extract a Hunt County-specific penalty-and-interest schedule from an official source in this pass, so no penalty percentages are stated on this page.

How to protest your appraisal

Protests go to the Hunt County Appraisal District, which publishes its protest procedures and deadlines and runs the property search, online protest, and appeals process. File and track everything at hunt-cad.org. Some private firms offer to handle protests for a percentage of any tax savings; such firms exist and charge a contingency fee, but we do not cite any savings figure or success rate as fact - results vary by parcel and year.

Estimate your Hunt County property tax

Sources: Hunt County Tax Office 2025 tax rates (county rate and the Greenville-area unit rates), the Hunt County Appraisal District (appraised values and exemptions), the Texas Comptroller (sales tax), and Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates (typical effective rate). See the tax guides for how Texas homestead, protest, and appraisal-cap rules work.

Vehicle Taxes in Texas

Unlike many states, Texas does not levy an annual value-based property tax on cars or other vehicles. There is no yearly "car tax" bill in Hunt County. Instead, vehicle taxes in Texas work two ways:

• One-time motor-vehicle sales/use tax of 6.25% at purchase. For a private-party sale, the tax is charged on the greater of the actual sales price or 80% of the vehicle's Standard Presumptive Value (SPV). A vehicle received as a gift is taxed at a flat $10 instead.
• A flat annual registration fee (plus any local add-ons), which is a fixed fee, not a tax on the vehicle's value. In Hunt County you register and title through the Hunt County Tax Assessor-Collector.

So if you searched for a Texas car or vehicle sales tax, the answer is the one-time 6.25% charged when the vehicle is titled - there is no recurring vehicle property tax to budget for each year.

Hunt County Sales Tax

The combined sales tax rate in the City of Greenville is 8.25% - the Texas maximum. It is made up of the 6.25% state rate plus a 2.00% local share: 0.50% for Hunt County and 1.50% for the City of Greenville and its local special-purpose components. Texas law caps that total local portion at 2.0% as a shared ceiling, so once the county and city rates reach 2%, no further local rate can stack on top - which is why 8.25% is the maximum combined sales tax here as everywhere else in Texas.

City of Greenville (Hunt County) sales tax components

Component	Rate
Texas state rate	6.25%
Hunt County	0.50%
City of Greenville and local special-purpose components	1.50%
Combined rate	8.25%

The 2.00% local share is the maximum Texas allows. The exact breakdown of the City of Greenville's 1.50% between the general city rate and its economic-development / special-purpose portions is confirmed as totalling 1.50% but its precise split is pending confirmation from the Texas Comptroller's official allocation. Groceries and most unprepared food are exempt from sales tax.

Real Example: a $210,900 Greenville Home

Here is how the numbers flow on a representative $210,900 City of Greenville / Greenville ISD home (the county median value) with a homestead exemption (owner under 65), applying only the school-district homestead to the school unit:

• Market value: $210,900.
• Homestead exemption: the $140,000 school-district exemption drops the Greenville ISD taxable value to $70,900. The other three units tax the full $210,900 in this simplified example.
• Stacked total: school $70,900 × 0.966900% = ~$686; city $210,900 × 0.568000% = ~$1,198; county $210,900 × 0.333241% = ~$703; hospital $210,900 × 0.207241% = ~$437.
• Estimated annual bill: about $3,024 per year.
• Monthly equivalent: about $252 per month.
• Effective rate: about 1.43% of market value in this simplified example.

How this compares to the county-wide median. The Census ACS county-wide median bill is about $2,736 (roughly 1.30% effective). This homesteaded example on the county median home value comes in a bit higher because the four-unit Greenville stack (which adds the hospital district and a relatively high city rate) is above the county-wide average mix, and many county parcels are lower-value or more heavily exempt. A non-homestead $210,900 parcel would pay closer to the full nominal ~2.08%, or about $4,377. Any local-option homestead exemptions we could not confirm would push a real homesteaded bill lower still.

Limitations:

• Your total varies by school district, city, and any special district covering your parcel; a Commerce, Quinlan, Caddo Mills, or Lone Oak parcel uses a different city/school stack, though the countywide hospital district applies everywhere.
• Local-option homestead exemptions (and over-65, disability, and disabled-veteran exemptions) vary by unit and were not confirmed from an official per-entity table this pass; this simplified example applies only the school-district homestead.
• Hunt County's exact penalty-and-interest schedule was not available from an official source in this pass and is not stated here.
• New-construction homes are often taxed on land only in the first year, then jump once the structure is on the roll.
• This is an estimate, not a parcel-exact bill. The typical effective rate is a Census ACS estimate, not a guaranteed rate.
