Kingsville, Texas
Kingsville is a city in Kleberg County on the South Texas coastal plain, about 34 miles southwest of Corpus Christi in the Coastal Bend region. It is best known as the headquarters town of the King Ranch, one of the largest ranches in Texas, and it is home to Texas A&M University-Kingsville and to Naval Air Station Kingsville. The surrounding country is flat brushland and rangeland typical of the ranching landscape of South Texas.
Property here runs through the Kleberg 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 Kleberg County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
