Lorenzo, Texas
Lorenzo lies on the flat High Plains of the Llano Estacado in Crosby County, about 20 miles east of Lubbock. The town sits amid irrigated cotton and grain farms that spread across the level tableland of the South Plains. It functions as a small agricultural community serving the surrounding farmland.
Property here runs through the Crosby 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.
