Two offices handle your property tax bill

Hunt CAD (Hunt County Appraisal District) assigns a value to your property each year. That value is used by every taxing unit (the county, your school district, the city) to calculate what you owe.

If you think your value is too high, you protest with Hunt CAD, not the tax office. The Hunt County Tax Assessor-Collector collects for many taxing jurisdictions in the county. Your bill depends on which units cover your parcel.

That split matters when you are comparing homes. One office answers value questions. The other handles tax collection and payment.
