Coleman, Texas
Coleman is a city in west-central Texas, in Coleman County about 46 miles southeast of Abilene, in the transitional rangeland where the rolling plains meet the edge of the Hill Country. Ranching and farming have long shaped the surrounding countryside, and Hords Creek Reservoir lies a short distance to the west.
Property here runs through the Coleman 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 Coleman County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
