Iraan, Texas

Iraan sits in the Pecos County uplands of far West Texas, about 70 miles southeast of Odessa in the dry, rugged canyon country along the Pecos River. The town grew out of the Permian Basin oil boom that followed the discovery of the enormous Yates Oilfield in the 1920s, and petroleum remains central to the local economy. Iraan is also known as the birthplace of the comic strip Alley Oop, whose creator worked in the area during the early oil days, and the town keeps a park with giant dinosaur and caveman figures honoring that history.

Property here runs through the Pecos 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 Pecos County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
