Rangerville, Texas
Rangerville is a small village in Cameron County in the Rio Grande Valley, about 20 miles northwest of Brownsville. It sits in the flat, subtropical farm country of the lower Rio Grande, surrounded by irrigated cropland and citrus groves typical of the Valley. The community is a small rural settlement within the broader agricultural landscape of the region.
Property here runs through the Cameron 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.
