Grimes County Money & Taxes

Two offices handle property tax matters in Grimes County, and they do different jobs.

The Grimes County Appraisal District sets the value of your property. It also handles homestead exemptions, agricultural valuations, and protests. The appraisal district is located in Anderson. Its website is grimescad.org.

The Grimes County Tax Assessor-Collector is a different office. It handles vehicle registration and other county business. It does not collect property taxes. The appraisal district collects property taxes.
