Who Handles Your Property Tax in Fisher County

Both offices sit in Roby, a few blocks apart, and folks mix them up all the time. At 107 E. North 1st St. is the Fisher County Appraisal District, where the chief appraiser decides what your land and buildings are worth. Exemption applications go there. So do agricultural special appraisals and any protest over your value. That's the desk that settles the number.

The Tax Assessor-Collector works out of 100 N. Concho St. and deals strictly with the money: the bill that lands in your mailbox and the payment that goes back. This is the part that catches people. If your value looks too high, the fight belongs at the appraisal district, not the tax window. Argue it while you're paying and you've argued it to the wrong person. Concho Street can take your check, but it can't change your number. The deadlines for filing an exemption or protesting move around from one year to the next, so the date you remember from last spring may already be gone.
