Who handles your property taxes in Navarro County

Your property tax in Navarro County moves through two offices, both sitting in Corsicana. One of them puts a value on your land and house every year; that's the Navarro Central Appraisal District. The other mails the bill and takes your money, and that's the county Tax Assessor-Collector. Same town, two different desks, and folks mix them up more than you'd guess.

So when the statement lands and the number on your house looks too high, the office that mailed it can't help you. The argument goes to the appraisal district, not the tax office. You've generally got until May 1 to file the protest, but that date can slide a little year to year, so a quick call to the CAD beats assuming the window's already shut. The appraisal district lives at www.navarrocad.com; the tax office is at www.co.navarro.tx.us.
