Property Tax

Two Separate Offices Handle Your Property Taxes

In Cochran County, one office appraises your property's value and a separate office collects the tax bill.

The Cochran Appraisal District sets the taxable value of your property. It sits at 109 SE First St. in Morton. If you think your value is too high, you file a protest with this office. Check cochrancad.com for deadlines and forms.

A separate office, the Cochran County Tax Assessor-Collector, sends out tax bills and takes your payments. That office is at 100 N. Main St., Room 101, also in Morton. Knowing which office to call saves you a wasted trip.
