Who Handles Your Property Tax in Hall County

In Hall County, the appraisal district both values your property and handles tax collection for most local taxing units.

The Hall County Appraisal District sets the value of your home or land each year. That value is used to calculate what you owe in property taxes. The tax assessor-collector office in Hall County does not collect property taxes — the appraisal district handles collection for most local units. This setup is different from many Texas counties, so contact the appraisal district directly with billing questions.

The appraisal district is located at 112 S. 5th St. in Memphis. If you own and live in your home as your main residence, you may qualify for a homestead exemption. That exemption lowers the taxable value of your home. Texas law requires school districts to give a $140,000 homestead exemption. File your application with the appraisal district. Check the Comptroller's county directory for current contact details and deadlines, since rates and deadlines can change.
