Five Fields to Match Before Using a Reagan CAD Result
Reagan CAD Search Problems and Practical Fixes
| Problem | Try This | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Full owner name returns no result | Use LASTNAME FIRSTNAME or only the surname. | The account may use initials, a trust, estate, company or former owner. |
| Recent buyer is not displayed | Search the seller or prior owner, then compare the deed. | Appraisal ownership can lag a recorded transfer. |
| Big Lake address fails | Use street number and main street name only. | Directions, suffixes or mailing wording may differ. |
| Rural tract has no useful address | Use owner, Property ID, Geo ID, abstract, survey, tract or legal description. | The appraisal situs may not be a postal address. |
| Mineral record is missing | Select MINERAL and search lease name, lease number, owner, agent and Property ID separately. | The operator and mineral owner may use different account names. |
| Only the surface parcel appears | Run a separate MINERAL search and search the lease. | Surface and subsurface interests are not the same appraisal record. |
| Business equipment is missing | Select PERSONAL and search the legal business name, DBA, agent or asset location. | Mailing and physical locations can differ. |
| Tax balance does not match CAD | Move to reagancountytax.org and search the certified account. | The CAD system and tax-collection system serve different stages and years. |
How to Read a Reagan County Appraisal Record
| Record Field | Plain-English Meaning | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Parcel ID / Sequence | The parcel and sequence used within the appraisal software. | Match the exact record when an owner has several entries. |
| Account | The formatted appraisal or tax account reference. | Use the complete account on correspondence and payments. |
| Owner ID | An identifier linked to an owner record. | One Owner ID may connect to several properties. |
| Geo ID | A geographic identifier associated with the parcel. | Copy every character before using the map. |
| Property type | REAL, PERSONAL or MINERAL classification. | Search each relevant type separately. |
| Legal description | Lot, block, tract, abstract, survey or lease information. | Compare with deed, lease, title and survey documents. |
| Owner / lease / operator | The name used for the specific appraisal record. | Surface, mineral, royalty and operating interests may differ. |
| Land homesite / non-homesite | Land value separated by use and exemption context. | Verify acreage, land class and homesite area. |
| Improvement value | Value assigned to houses, shops, tanks, offices or other structures. | Size, age, quality, condition, use and removed improvements. |
| Market value | The district’s January 1 estimate before exemptions and limitations. | Compare with property-specific sales, income, condition and characteristics. |
| Taxable value | The value remaining for a taxing unit after applicable relief. | Taxable value can differ among the county, city, school, hospital and water entities. |
| Base tax due | A tax-system field showing the base amount due before some later charges or adjustments. | Confirm the total payoff directly with the Tax Office for delinquent accounts. |

How to Use the Reagan CAD Interactive Map
Reagan County Mineral, Utility and Industrial Accounts
Reagan CAD states that mineral, utility and industrial accounts are appraised for the district by Pritchard & Abbott, Inc. Real estate and business personal property are appraised locally by the district.
| Mineral Issue | Evidence to Gather | Next Action |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong owner or decimal interest | Recorded deed, probate, division order, transfer documents and ownership statement. | Contact the appraisal office and mineral appraiser with the exact account. |
| Lease name does not match | Lease, operator statement, Railroad Commission identifier and prior tax record. | Search lease number, operator and owner separately. |
| Value changed sharply | Production history, price data, decline information, expenses and comparable account facts. | Request the district’s appraisal evidence and preserve the protest deadline. |
| Surface owner receives mineral notice | Deed reservations, title documents and correspondence showing separated ownership. | Ask which record or owner ID caused the notice. |
| Several small accounts exist | Complete owner search, lease list and all Property IDs. | Review and pay each account separately; do not assume one payment clears all interests. |
