Which school district?
The 2020 Census places all of the homes inside San Juan city limits in Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD, so the table above uses it. Your district depends on your exact address. Look it up on the Hidalgo County Appraisal District property search. The share comes from 2020 Census housing counts within current boundaries, and new streets at the edges can differ.
The 2020 Census counted 10,946 housing units inside San Juan city limits.
Units that tax only some homes
No other taxing units showed up on the 20 sampled homes inside San Juan city limits on the 2025 roll. Homes just outside the city are different (see below). A public improvement district (PID) in a newer subdivision bills an assessment, not a tax rate; the title company can tell you if a lot has one.
