Jack County Tax Questions Split at the Appraisal Notice

An appraisal notice and a tax bill may feel like one process, but they belong to different Jack County offices. Jack County Appraisal District, at 210 N. Church Street, sets taxable property values. It also handles exemptions, special appraisals, and protests. A value or exemption question starts there. Both offices are in Jacksboro.

The Tax Assessor-Collector is in Suite 209 at 100 N. Main Street. That office handles bills, rates, receipts, and payment options for the taxing units it serves. Its current collection list covers Jack County, Perrin-Whitt CISD, Graford ISD, and Keechi Water Control District No. 1. A different unit on your paperwork may need a separate call.

JCAD's countywide directory lists 12 active taxing units: the county, six school districts, two cities, two water districts, and a hospital district. That does not mean every parcel pays all 12. A property's mix depends on which boundaries contain it. Keep the appraisal notice or bill in front of you when calling; the office name and account number will help route the question.
