Who Handles Property Tax in Kleberg County

Two offices sit a few blocks apart on Kleberg in Kingsville, and your tax bill passes through both of them. The Kleberg Central Appraisal District (KCAD), at 502 E. Kleberg St., decides what your property is worth. That one number flows out to eight taxing units: Kleberg County itself, four school districts (Kingsville ISD, Ricardo ISD, Riviera ISD, and Santa Gertrudis ISD), the City of Kingsville, the South Texas Water Authority, and the Kenedy County Groundwater Conservation District. Think your value is too high? KCAD is where you protest it, not the tax office.

Once the value is set, the Tax Assessor-Collector at 700 E. Kleberg Ave. is the one that mails the bill and takes your money. Same street name, different address, different job. That split snags people every year. Folks call the tax office to argue about their appraisal, or call the appraisal district to make a payment, and get sent back across town. Get the value handled at 502 E. Kleberg St. first; the bill at 700 E. Kleberg Ave. follows from it.
