Which units tax the lot?
The county, the school district, the city if the lot is inside city limits, and any special districts covering the address. The rate files can't show which special districts cover an address; the Hidalgo appraisal district's property record for the lot lists every unit. Find its site in the Comptroller's appraisal district directory.

How the 0.5750 county rate adds up
Texas counties can levy up to three separate funds. Each has a maintenance & operations part (“M&O”, the day-to-day budget) and a debt part (“I&S”, interest and sinking, which pays off bonds). The county rate is the sum of all of them.
| Fund | M&O | Debt (I&S) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| General fund | 0.5180 | 0.0570 | 0.5750 |
| Road & bridge | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 |
| Farm-to-market roads / flood control | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 |
