Hidalgo County Appraisal District 2022 Utility Property Tax Summary

The taxable value of real estate held by private utilities, such gas and electric, is estimated by Hidalgo County. In Hidalgo County, utilities make up only 1.59% of the total taxable property value ($997 million out of $62 billion in 2022). However, 82% of the utility value was protested in 2022. Very few utility accounts end up in binding arbitration or on court appeal.

Every year, utility providers protest 82% of value, compared to about 16.67% of homeowners who do the same. To be adequately represented, you do not need to possess a utility.
