About Texas Land Tax
A plain-language resource for Texas landowners navigating property tax exemptions and conservation easements. We cover all 254 counties with county-specific requirements, interactive tools, and a professional directory.
Who runs this site
Texas Land Tax is operated by Whtnxt, a digital marketing and automation consultancy based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
We built this resource because we saw a gap: landowners struggling to find clear, county-specific information about property tax exemptions and conservation easements without hiring a consultant or reading dense legal documents.

- Data systems, web development, and content design professionals
