Value Questions and Payment Questions Go to Different Offices

Bastrop Central Appraisal District appraises property and handles exemptions. Cities, schools, and other local units set their own tax rates. A value, exemption, or protest question belongs with Bastrop CAD. The appraisal district does not collect your bill.

The Bastrop County Tax Assessor-Collector collects property tax for the units named in the Comptroller's Bastrop directory. That office also handles vehicle registration. Its county page has links for online tax payment and vehicle renewal. The tax office does not set values or rates.

Bastrop CAD is at 212 Jackson Street and lists (512) 303-1930. For a protest, use the deadline on your appraisal notice and the CAD's current steps. For a bill, payment, or vehicle task, use the county tax office page for the current place and hours.
