Property Tax Basics Practical

Your appraisal and tax bill come from different offices

Hunt CAD handles the value side of the bill. It appraises property and decides exemptions. The county, school districts, cities, and other taxing units set their own rates, so the mix on one parcel can differ from the mix down the road.

A value, exemption, or protest question belongs with Hunt CAD. The Hunt County Tax Assessor-Collector says it collects for many, rather than every, taxing jurisdiction in the county. For payment questions, start with the office named on the bill and use the parcel record to see which units actually tax that address.
