Property Tax

Who handles property taxes in Van Zandt County

The Van Zandt Appraisal District sets property values, but the appraisal district itself also collects most local property taxes.

Van Zandt County Money & Taxes

In most Texas counties, a separate tax assessor-collector handles billing and collection. Van Zandt County is different. The county tax office does not collect property taxes here. Instead, the Van Zandt Appraisal District (VZCAD) handles collection for most local taxing units.

If you own property in Van Zandt County, VZCAD is your main contact for tax bills, payments, and exemption applications. Their office is at 27867 State Hwy. 64 in Canton. Call 903-567-6171 or email admin@vzcad.org. Check the Texas Comptroller's county directory to confirm the current setup.
