Chillicothe, Texas
Set on the rolling plains of Hardeman County near the Red River country of northwest Texas, Chillicothe lies about 125 miles northeast of Abilene. It is a small agricultural community whose surrounding land has long been worked for wheat, cotton, and cattle.
Property here runs through the Hardeman 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 Hardeman County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
