Property Tax

How Property Taxes Work in Terry County

Terry County uses a separate appraisal district and tax office, and the tax office does not collect property taxes directly.

Terry County Money & Taxes

The Terry County Appraisal District sets the value on your property. It is located at 421 W. Powell St. in Brownfield. The appraisal district is separate from the county tax office.

Here is the unusual part: the county tax assessor-collector does not collect property taxes in Terry County. The appraisal district handles collection instead. If you have a tax question, contact the appraisal district first. Check the Texas Comptroller's county directory to confirm contact details, since officials and phone numbers can change.
