Who Handles Your Property Tax in Edwards County

Two separate offices handle property appraisal and tax collection in Edwards County, and knowing the difference saves you time.

Edwards County Money & Taxes

The Edwards Central Appraisal District (ECAD) sets the value of your property. It does not collect taxes. The Tax Assessor-Collector's office collects what you owe. ECAD's office is at 101 E. Main St. in Rocksprings (mail goes to P.O. Box 858). You can reach ECAD at 830-683-4189 or edwardscad.org.

Five taxing entities use the appraisal roll: Edwards County, the City of Rocksprings, Rocksprings ISD, Nueces Canyon Consolidated ISD, and the Real-Edwards County Conservation and Reclamation District. Each sets its own tax rate. Check the Texas Comptroller's county directory page to see the current list of taxing units.
