Darrouzett, Texas
Darrouzett is a small town in Lipscomb County, tucked into the far northeastern corner of the Texas Panhandle about 123 miles northeast of Amarillo. It lies on the High Plains near the state's northern edge, in open country of grassland and wheat farms crossed by shallow creek valleys. Farming and ranching define the surrounding landscape of this remote plains community.
Property here runs through the Lipscomb 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.
