Stanton, Texas

Stanton is a city in Martin County, on the flat, semi-arid plains of the Permian Basin roughly 19 miles east of Midland. The town began as a German Catholic colony called Marienfeld, and its landmark red adobe convent, dating to the 1880s and later home to the Sisters of Mercy, still stands as one of the region's distinctive historic buildings. The surrounding country supports cotton farming, cattle ranching, and oil and gas production characteristic of the Permian Basin.

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