Wixon Valley, Texas
Wixon Valley is a small city in Brazos County, in the gently rolling farm and pasture country of Central Texas about 9 miles from College Station. The area lies in the Brazos Valley, a landscape of cropland, wooded creek bottoms, and open grazing land. It is a quiet rural community on the outskirts of the Bryan-College Station area.
Property here runs through the Brazos 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 Brazos County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
