Who Handles Property Taxes in Hansford County

Two separate offices handle property taxes in Hansford County — one sets your value, one collects the bill.

Hansford County Money & Taxes

The Hansford County Appraisal District (CAD) decides what your property is worth for tax purposes. It is at 709 W. 7th Ave. in Spearman and can be reached at 806-659-5575. The CAD covers all taxing units in the county, including Hansford County itself, three school districts (Gruver, Pringle-Morse, and Spearman), and two water conservation districts.

A separate office — the Tax Assessor-Collector at 221 Main St. in Spearman — sends the bill and takes your payment. If you think your appraisal is too high, you protest with the CAD, not the tax office. The Texas Comptroller lists both offices and their contact details. Check there before calling to make sure hours and contacts are current.
