Description of Office

The tax assessor-collector is a constitutionally required office for counties over 10,000 population (Tex. Const. Art. VIII, Sec. 14). In smaller counties the office may be created by a majority of the voters, or, as is the case in some Texas counties, the sheriff may perform the duties (Tex. Const. Art. VIII, Sec. 16, 16a).
 
In the past, the tax assessor-collector determined the value of property and collected taxes within the county. This office could also contract with other
governmental units to perform the same services. However, effective on January 1, 1982, state law required that counties participate in a single appraisal district (Tex. Const. Art. VIII, Sec. 18). Under the revision, many duties regarding property taxes which were performed by the county tax assessor-collector, such as appraisal, became duties of the office of the chief appraiser of the districts. Currently, the county tax assessor-collector is to assess and collect taxes on property in the county for the county and, under certain conditions, for another taxing unit (Tax Code Sec. 6.23).
 
Tax assessor-collector functions under Texas Tax Code, as enacted in 1979 and amended in later years, are enumerated on the following pages. Also listed are the office's responsibilities for motor vehicle registration, voter registration, and other taxing and financial duties.
