Kenedy County, Texas Property Tax
The U.S. Census Bureau publishes no median home value and no median property tax bill for Kenedy County. Too few households live here for a median to be reported without identifying them, so there is no typical bill for this county to quote, and this page does not estimate one.
What is published is the rate. Kenedy County’s taxing units together adopted 2.05% for 2025, the most recent year Texas has adopted rates for, charged on a property’s taxable value after exemptions. That is a different figure from the effective rates on our other Texas county pages, which divide a real median bill by a real median home value.
Everything below is the part that does not depend on a median: who appraises your property, when the notice arrives, how long you have to protest it, and when the bill is due.
