2025 adopted rates. Texas Comptroller 2025 rate files (county, city, school district and special district), checked against the appraisal district's 2025 roll.
Homestead exemption. A homeowner gets $140,000 off school district tax ($5,000 off South Texas ISD), so it mostly lowers the La Joya ISD part of the bill. How to file.
City limits. This stack assumes the home is inside Mission city limits and in La Joya ISD. Outside city limits there is no city tax; confirm both for the exact lot with the appraisal district.
Year 1 is different. A new home is often taxed on the lot in its first year, so the bill usually rises in year 2. Protesting an appraisal.

Questions about Bentsen Palm
What is the property tax rate in Bentsen Palm?
The 2025 combined rate is 2.459 per $100 of value: Hidalgo County 0.575, Drainage District #1 0.1123, South Texas College 0.162, South Texas ISD 0.0492, City of Mission 0.558 and La Joya ISD 1.0025. Homeowners who live in the home can claim the homestead exemption: $140,000 off school district tax ($5,000 off South Texas ISD). This assumes the home is inside Mission city limits and in La Joya ISD; confirm both for the exact lot.
Does Bentsen Palm have a PID or MUD?
Rhodes Enterprises does not publish one. Texas sellers must give a notice when a property is in a public improvement district or a municipal utility district; ask the title company for it before you sign.
Is there an HOA in Bentsen Palm, and how much are the dues?
Not published by the builder. Ask the builder for the HOA budget, the resale certificate and the deed restrictions, which can also limit leasing.
Do I need my own agent to buy in Bentsen Palm?
No, but the sales team at the model home works for Rhodes Enterprises. A buyer's agent works for you: Amy can register you before your first visit, compare communities, negotiate incentives and walk you through the builder's contract. In many new-home purchases the builder pays the buyer's agent. Your written buyer agreement states Amy's services, how she is paid and by whom. Broker compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable.
Why might my first-year tax bill be lower than this estimate?
Texas taxes property on its January 1 status. A home finished during the year is often taxed on the lot or a partly built house for that first year, so the first bill can be much lower and the escrow payment usually rises in year 2 when the home is taxed at full value. Est. True Monthly uses the full-value tax on purpose.
