El Paso County

El Paso County Welcome to the El Paso County Government page. El Paso County was created from Bexar District in 1849, organized in 1850, and incorporated in 1871.

Parts of El Paso County were taken to form Culberson County in 1911 and Hudspeth County in 1915. El Paso County is one of the 254 counties in the state of Texas. The county was named in the early days for being a well-known Pass ("Paso") through the Rocky Mountains.It is the most western county in Texas, and is about equidistant from Houston, Texas, Los Angeles, California and Denver, Colorado. Al

so, bordered on the east side by Hudspeth County, El Paso County is just to the North of the International Boundary between the United States of America and the Republic of Mexico, and touches Dona Ana County in New Mexico. The county is a strategic crossroads for continental north-south and east-west traffic and spans a geographic area of about 1,013 square miles.

With property taxes, the tax rate is only part of the story.

El Paso County Commissioners Court has approved lowering the County’s property tax rate to the No New Revenue (NNR) rate. The NNR rate is designed to keep the amount of revenue collected from existing properties roughly level with the previous year.

So, does that mean everyone’s property tax bill will go down? Not necessarily. Your individual bill can still change based on your property’s taxable value, exemptions and other factors.

As conversations about the County budget and tax rate continue, we want residents to have the facts and understand what the County controls, what affects your individual bill, and where your property tax dollars go.

👉 Swipe through for a simple breakdown of the NNR rate, home values and what it could mean for your property tax bill.
