Broaddus, Texas
Broaddus is a small town in San Augustine County, deep in the East Texas Piney Woods, about 85 miles north of Beaumont and roughly 95 miles southeast of Tyler. It sits near the shore of Sam Rayburn Reservoir, one of the largest lakes in Texas, whose surrounding pine forest and fishing draw visitors to the area. The town is a modest community serving the rural, timbered country around the lake.
Property here runs through the San Augustine Central Appraisal District and the county tax office — the homestead exemption, the appraisal cap, protests, and any MUD, PID, or special districts all sit at the parcel level. The San Augustine County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
