Property Tax

Who handles your property taxes in Montague County

Two separate offices handle property taxes here — one sets the value, one collects the bill.

In Texas, the appraisal district sets what your property is worth. A separate tax assessor-collector uses that number to send you a bill. These are two different offices. Knowing which one to call saves time.

The Montague County Appraisal District is on State Highway 175 North in Montague. Call them to dispute your value, apply for a homestead exemption, or ask about ag-use valuation. The Tax Assessor-Collector is nearby on State Highway 59. Call them to pay your bill. Both offices are in the small town of Montague, the county seat. Check the Texas Comptroller directory for current contact info and deadlines.
