Bexar Appraisal: Fill & Download for Free

I tried looking at the Bexar Appraisal District records, but they don't even list improvements on that property because it is tax exempt. But looking at the buildings on Google Maps, it looks like it was probably built somewhere in the mid 1960s to mid 1970s.

Definitions for city and town are about the same as long as they are incorporated. If an area (city, town, suburb) is incorporated it has the authority to set up a police and fire department, to regulate building, and to collect taxes (among other things.)Counties are usually larger areas that also have taxing authority, but they usually have much smaller budgets because they are more sparsely populated. Also, if you live in the county boundary, but not in the city or town boundary, you will pay less in property taxes, because you are only paying for the county. Also, not all states have counties. Some, like Louisiana, have parishes, which are somewhat similar, but not exactly.Each state probably has some subtle differences in what makes a county or city and what authority each of these jurisdictions have. Check out your state website for specific definitions.There are also unincorporated towns and communities. These areas have no taxing authority and generally rely on the county for any services, such as fire and police (county sheriff.)Figuring out what jurisdiction you are in can be a bit tricky if you don't have access to boundary maps. Some cities and counties have GIS services online where you can find out the boundary areas.If you just want to know what specific area you are standing in, many state, city and county websites will let you enter your address/zip code to find out what jurisdictions you are in.If you have a piece of property and you want to know what boundaries it lies within, checkout your property appraisal district (in Texas it's done by county). Put in your address and it should tell you which jurisdictions the property is in (probably under taxing jurisdictions) For example I found out that the Lone Star National Bank Building in San Antonio is within the following boundaries:BEXAR COUNTY ROAD & FLOODSAN ANTONIO RIVER AUTHORITYALAMO COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTBEXAR COUNTY HEALTH SYSTEMBEXAR COUNTYCITY OF SAN ANTONIONORTH EAST INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICTBEXAR APPRAISAL DISTRICT
