Property Tax

Two Different Offices Handle Your Property Tax in Hartley County

In Hartley County, one office values your property and a separate office handles tax collection — and they are in different towns.

Hartley County Money & Taxes

The Hartley County Appraisal District sets the value of your property. It is based in the town of Hartley. This office also handles exemption applications, including the general homestead exemption. You can reach them at (806) 365-4515 or at hartleycad.org.

The Tax Assessor-Collector is a separate office based in Channing, the county seat. That office handles vehicle registration and other county tax duties. If you are unsure which office to contact about a tax bill or exemption, start with the appraisal district. Check the Texas Comptroller's county directory to confirm current contact information, since staff and addresses can change.
