Eden, Texas
Eden is a small city in Concho County on the western edge of the Texas Hill Country, where the rolling ranchland meets the drier plains of West Texas about 39 miles southeast of San Angelo. As sheep and goat ranching grew across the surrounding country in the twentieth century, Eden served as a trade center for wool and mohair from the area's ranches.
Property here runs through the Concho 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 Concho County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
