Madison County Property Taxes Run Through Two Offices

Two Madisonville offices split the property-tax job. Madison County Appraisal District, at 808 State Street, sets taxable property values. It also handles exemptions, special appraisals, and protests. If the number on an appraisal notice looks wrong, start there.

The Madison County Tax Assessor-Collector is in Room 102 at 101 W. Main Street. That office answers questions about bills, rates, receipts, and payment options for the tax units it serves. Sort the question before making the trip: value, exemption, or protest means MCAD; bill or payment means the tax office.

One detail matters in a county with several school and city lines: the tax office answers for the units it serves. Its collection list covers Madison County, Madisonville CISD, North Zulch ISD, Normangee ISD, and the cities of Madisonville and Normangee. If another unit appears on your paperwork, ask that unit directly. Keep the notice or bill in front of you when you call. The heading and account number make it easier to route the question, and a quick call can save a trip across town.
