Spring Branch, Texas
Set in the Texas Hill Country of Comal County, Spring Branch lies about 21 miles northwest of New Braunfels among the rolling limestone hills, live oaks, and cedar of the region. It occupies the country between the Guadalupe River watershed and the higher plateau to the west, an area of ranches, rural homesteads, and river recreation. The community is spread across the hills rather than a dense town center.
Property here runs through the Comal 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 Comal County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
