Llano, Texas
Llano lies along the Llano River in the granite country of the central Texas Hill Country, roughly 60 miles west of Georgetown. The town sits within the Llano Uplift, a region of exposed pink granite domes and boulder-strewn hills, and pink granite quarried nearby has been used in Texas landmark buildings. Surrounded by ranchland prized for white-tailed deer, Llano is widely known as a hunting destination and is often called the Deer Capital of Texas.
Property here runs through the Llano 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 Llano County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
