Munday, Texas
Set on the rolling plains of Knox County in North Central Texas, Munday lies about 69 miles north of Abilene in a landscape of open farmland and ranch country. The town has long been tied to the region's agriculture, with cotton and other row crops grown across the surrounding fields. It stands in the broad, semi-arid rangeland that spreads west toward the High Plains.
Property here runs through the Knox 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 Knox County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
