Property Tax

Two offices handle your property taxes in Madison County

The appraisal district sets your property value, and a separate tax office collects what you owe — they are two different offices with different addresses.

Madison County Money & Taxes

When you own property in Madison County, two separate offices handle your taxes. The Madison County Appraisal District decides what your property is worth for tax purposes. It is located at 808 State St., Madisonville. If you think your value is wrong, this is the office to contact.

The Tax Assessor-Collector collects payment and handles registration of vehicles and other duties. That office is at 101 W. Main St., Suite 102, Madisonville. Knowing which office to call saves time. The Texas Comptroller's county directory lists both offices with current phone numbers and websites.
