Property Tax

Two offices handle your property taxes in Wilson County

The appraisal district sets your property value; the tax assessor-collector bills and collects the tax — they are separate offices.

Wilson County Money & Taxes

When you get a property tax bill in Wilson County, two offices are involved. The Wilson County Appraisal District (WCAD) decides what your property is worth each year. That value is the basis for your tax bill. WCAD is on Railroad Street in Floresville.

A separate office — the Tax Assessor-Collector — sends the bill and takes your payment. If you think your value is wrong, you dispute it with WCAD, not the tax office. Check the Texas Comptroller's county directory to confirm current contact info for both offices, since staff and addresses can change.
