Appraisal district vs. tax office: who does what in Brazos County

A Brazos County tax bill starts in two places. Brazos CAD handles the value side: appraisals, exemptions, and Appraisal Review Board protests. If the value looks wrong, or a homestead exemption is missing, that fight belongs with the appraisal district.

The Tax Assessor-Collector handles the bill side. That office collects property taxes for local taxing units and runs payments through brazostax.org, the tax-office site named in the state county directory. So the porch version is simple: value problem, start with Brazos CAD; payment or rate question, start with the tax office.
