May 15 (or 30 days after notice)
Deadline to protest your appraisal value

Summer (July–September)
Local taxing units (city, county, school district, emergency service districts, municipal utility district, and management district) set their tax rates.

October–November
Tax bills are mailed out by tax assessor-collector.
