Two Offices Handle Your Property Tax in Hemphill County

The appraisal district at 102 N. 5th St. in Canadian is where your property's value gets decided, and that value is what drives your whole tax bill. Think your home or your land got pegged too high? The protest goes here, to the Hemphill County Appraisal District, never to the tax office. That's the one place people mix up.

A few blocks over, the Hemphill County Tax Assessor-Collector at 400 Main St., Suite 204 does the other half of the job: mailing the bills and taking the money. Different building, different people, different work. New owners now and then fire off a protest letter to the assessor-collector, hear nothing back, and blow past the deadline waiting. So sort out which one you actually need before you pick up the phone. Value questions to 5th Street, payment questions to Main.
