Two offices handle property taxes here

Two doors in Baird, a few blocks apart, split the property-tax job between them. The Callahan County Appraisal District (CCAD), at 302 Chestnut St., decides what your property is worth. That number is what you protest if it looks too high, and it's where exemptions and ag-use applications get filed. The Tax Assessor-Collector at 337 Market St. takes that value, turns it into a bill, and collects the money.

So the rule of thumb is simple. Anything about what your place is worth (value, protests, exemptions, ag use) starts at CCAD on Chestnut. Anything about the bill itself, like paying it or setting up a payment plan, goes to the assessor-collector on Market. Calling the appraisal district to ask why your check hasn't cleared just gets you sent across town.
