Property Tax

Carson County Has Two Separate Tax Offices

Carson County splits property tax work between two offices: one sets your value, the other sends your bill.

The Carson County Appraisal District sets the value of your property. It is located at 102 Main St. in Panhandle. This office is where you file for exemptions and protest your value if you think it is too high.

A separate office, the Carson County Tax Assessor-Collector, handles your actual tax bill and payments. It sits at 501 Main St. in Panhandle. These two offices have different phone numbers and websites. Knowing which one to call saves time. Check the Texas Comptroller's county directory to confirm current contact details.
