Two offices handle your property taxes in Glasscock County

Both desks sit under the same roof at 209 S. Myrl St. in Garden City, but they do two different jobs, and mixing them up is the most common mistake people make at tax time. One office, the Glasscock County Appraisal District, decides what your property is worth each year. That number drives the size of your bill. The other, the Tax Assessor-Collector, takes that value, mails you the bill, and collects what you owe.

The split matters when the value looks wrong. A protest goes to the appraisal district, the office that set the value. The tax collector handles the money after that number is locked in. The appraisal district answers at 432-203-2215 or [email protected].

Texas's usual protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the appraisal district mails the notice of appraised value, whichever is later. The mailed notice still matters, because that date can control the deadline.
