Who Sets Your Property Value in Wise County

The Wise County Appraisal District sets the value of your property, and a separate tax office collects the bill.

Two offices handle property tax in Wise County. The Wise County Appraisal District (Wise CAD) appraises — or estimates the value of — all taxable property. The Tax Assessor-Collector then sends the bill and collects the money. These are separate offices.

Wise CAD is at 400 E. Business 380 in Decatur. The Tax Assessor-Collector is at 404 W. Walnut St. If you think your value is wrong, you protest with the appraisal district, not the tax office. The deadline to protest is typically May 1 each year, but check the official site for the current date.
