Ivanhoe, Texas
Ivanhoe is a small community in Tyler County, deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas about 45 miles northwest of Beaumont. It lies among dense pine and hardwood forest near the Big Thicket, the ecologically rich belt of woodland, swamp, and creek bottoms that covers much of the region. The area is heavily timbered and rural, with the surrounding land given over to forest and small lakes.
Property here runs through the Tyler 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 Tyler County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
