Snyder, Texas

Set on the rolling plains of West Texas, Snyder is the principal city of Scurry County, about 72 miles northwest of Abilene at the edge of the Permian Basin oil region. The town's economy has long been tied to petroleum production and to ranching on the surrounding semiarid grassland. A landmark statue of a white buffalo stands on the courthouse square, a nod to a local hunting legend from the area's frontier past.

Property here runs through the Scurry 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 Scurry County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
