Two Offices Handle Property Tax in Johnson County

Johnson County has a separate appraisal district and tax office — they do different jobs, so knowing which one to call saves you time.

Johnson County Money & Taxes

Two different offices handle property tax in Johnson County. They are not the same place.

The Central Appraisal District of Johnson County sets the value on your property. It does not collect taxes. If you think your home is valued too high, you dispute it here. Their website is johnsoncad.com. The phone is 817-648-3000.

The Johnson County Tax Office sends the tax bill and collects the money. It also handles vehicle registration. Their website is johnsoncountytaxoffice.org. The phone is 817-558-0122.
