How Property Appraisal and Tax Collection Work in Cottle County

For value questions, start with Cottle CAD. The appraisal district office is at 815 9th St., Room 104, in Paducah. Kayla Box is the chief appraiser, and the office phone is 806-492-3345.

For tax bills, read the bill closely. Cottle County's tax assessor-collector is not the property-tax collector, so the unit named on the bill matters. The local stack includes the county, school districts, City of Paducah, and Tri-County Gateway Groundwater Conservation District.

Homeowners still file exemption applications with the appraisal district. Texas requires school districts to give a $140,000 residence homestead exemption, so that is one of the first things to check on a primary home.
