Property Tax Relief Window Open for Summer Flood Repairs
Uvalde, TX · October 11, 2026
Sunday quiet settles across the plazas this morning, though riverfront centennial crowds and afternoon pumpkin patches will keep the county roads busy before dusk.
The Lead
Property owners recovering from July’s severe flooding have until October 27 to seek relief on their upcoming county tax bills. The Uvalde County Appraisal District is accepting applications for a temporary disaster property tax exemption, which grants relief to parcels where residential, commercial, or agricultural structures sustained at least 15 percent physical damage. The state-authorized exemption does not apply to land value, but it offers a tiered reduction between 15 and 100 percent based strictly on the verified structural loss. Local appraisers are urging affected residents to assemble contractor estimates, repair receipts, and dated damage photos to accompany the state disaster exemption form. Staff will review submitted repair filings and complete on-site damage assessments before calculating certified values for the end-of-year tax statements.

Spotlight & Story
- Uvalde City Hall Before 1930, this corner held a frontier jail where women volunteers opened the town's earliest library inside empty iron cells. Architect Will Noonan replaced it with the Spanish Revival hall standing today, trading holding pens for stucco arches and municipal desks.
