Start With the Right Gray County Portal or Office

Gray CAD determines appraisal values and exemption eligibility. The Gray County Tax Assessor-Collector handles bills and payments. The County Clerk maintains recorded deeds, liens, plats and other official property instruments.

Verify a deed or lien

Use the County Clerk’s public-record search for deeds, deeds of trust, liens, releases and other instruments.

Search Clerk records →
Do not use a CAD property record as a title report or boundary survey. The appraisal system is designed for property-tax administration. Legal ownership, easements, liens, restrictions and exact boundaries require recorded documents and, when necessary, professional title or surveying work.
Current online-service status

Gray CAD Taxpayer Portal and Online Protest Status

Gray CAD’s former eProtest page now tells taxpayers to use the taxpayer portal for property details, district communications and online appeals. The portal was updated in June 2026, while the district homepage currently displays a separate warning about technical difficulties.

1
Portal may load The sign-up and login screen can be available even while individual functions or account connections are affected.
2
Registration may require approval The portal can display an “Approval Pending” message while Gray CAD reviews the registration.
3
Do not risk a deadline Use another accepted delivery method when a portal issue could cause a late filing.
Create an account with an accessible email address. Use an email account you can check immediately for verification and password-reset messages.
Connect the correct property. Copy the property and owner information from the official search or appraisal notice.
Review available documents and communications. Confirm the tax year and property ID before opening or responding to a notice.
File an online appeal only when the portal confirms submission. A saved draft, pending registration or partially uploaded document is not proof of filing.
Save the confirmation screen. Download it, print it or capture a readable screenshot showing the date and property.
Contact Gray CAD immediately when the system fails. Call 806-665-0791 or email info@graycad.org before the deadline.
A portal warning does not automatically extend a statutory deadline. Keep evidence of the technical problem and use mail, email, office delivery or another officially accepted method when necessary.
Property-field decoder

How to Read a Gray CAD Appraisal Record

Record field What it means What to verify
Property ID The appraisal district’s unique account reference. Use the exact ID on applications, protests, emails and tax searches.
Geographic ID A mapping or location identifier used by the appraisal system. Do not confuse it with the property ID or a County Clerk instrument number.
Owner name The owner currently carried for appraisal administration. A recently recorded deed, estate or trust transfer may not yet appear.
Mailing address The address used for appraisal notices and correspondence. It can differ from the physical property location.
Situs address The physical address associated with the account. Vacant, rural and mineral properties may not have a normal postal address.
Legal description An abbreviated appraisal reference to a lot, block, survey, abstract or tract. Gray CAD specifically warns users to verify it before legal use.
Acreage The land quantity maintained for appraisal purposes. Gray CAD warns that acreage should be independently verified before legal use.
Market value The district’s opinion of property value as of the applicable January 1 appraisal date. Review land, improvements, business assets and minerals separately.
Appraised value The value after an applicable appraisal limitation or special-appraisal rule. It may differ from market value for a qualified homestead or open-space property.
Taxable value The value remaining for a taxing unit after exemptions and applicable limitations. Different entities can display different taxable values.
Exemptions Approved homestead, age-65, disability, veteran or other exemptions. A missing exemption can indicate no application, pending review or denial.
Improvement details Building area, age, type, quality, condition and appraisal class. Incorrect measurements or condition ratings can affect value.
Taxing entities County, road, water, college, city, school and other applicable jurisdictions. Confirm the specific list for the property rather than assuming countywide coverage.
Gray CAD’s own search disclaimer matters. Legal descriptions and acreage are maintained for appraisal-district use and should be verified before being used in a deed, contract, survey instruction, easement or other legal document.
Parcel-map safety

How to Use the Gray County Interactive Map Safely

Open the official Gray CAD interactive map. Use the BIS Gray County map.
Search with the property ID when possible. A unique account identifier is generally safer than relying only on a common owner name.
Select the likely appraisal parcel. Compare the owner, road, property ID, geographic ID and nearby landmarks.
Open adjoining accounts separately. A residence, acreage tract, business improvement, mobile home and mineral interest may have separate records.
Use the map to locate—not legally establish—the parcel. GIS layers may be generalized, shifted from aerial photography or different from a current field survey.
Appropriate GIS uses Locating an appraisal account, comparing nearby parcel IDs, reviewing approximate tract shape and checking displayed jurisdiction layers.
Do not use GIS alone for Fence placement, easement location, setbacks, utility construction, certified acreage, access rights or an encroachment dispute.
Agriculture and wildlife

Gray County Open-Space Agricultural Appraisal

Gray CAD provides the Texas 1-d-1 agricultural application, agricultural guidance, wildlife-management documents and timber-related forms. Qualification depends on property use and statutory history—not merely rural location or parcel size.

Agricultural history

Prepare the current and prior years of agricultural activity. The state application requests enough history to show the required qualifying-use pattern.

Intensity and principal use

Document livestock numbers, crops, pasture management, water, fencing, leases and who conducts the operation.

Wildlife management

Wildlife qualification generally requires prior open-space eligibility, a management plan and at least three qualifying practices.

Evidence category Useful documents Common mistake
Property identity Property ID, deed, survey and appraisal notice. Using only an approximate GIS acreage.
Use history Leases, receipts, production records, photographs and prior applications. Documenting only the current tax year.
Livestock or crops Stocking records, planting records, harvest records and operator information. Assuming occasional grazing automatically qualifies.
Land management Fencing, water, soil, weed control and pasture-management records. Failing to show active management.
Wildlife practices Management plan, annual report, receipts, photographs and activity logs. Submitting a plan without proof that practices occurred.
Ownership changes require careful review. The current state application contains special rules for surviving spouses and certain transfers where the new owner continues materially the same agricultural use. Do not assume qualification automatically remains without filing or contacting Gray CAD.
Business and mineral property

Gray County Business Personal Property and Mineral Accounts

Business personal property

  • Identify assets owned or controlled on January 1.
  • Separate furniture, equipment, machinery and inventory.
  • Confirm the business location and doing-business-as name.
  • Use Gray CAD’s 2026 depreciation schedule when applicable.
  • Keep a complete copy of the rendition.

Mineral and industrial property

  • Confirm the property or mineral account ID.
  • Review lease, operator and ownership-interest information.
  • Search each tax year separately.
  • Compare recorded deeds and assignments.
  • Do not assume similar accounts are duplicates.

Manufactured homes and inventory

  • Check the property type and mobile-home park field.
  • Verify serial, label or account information.
  • Search land and home accounts separately.
  • Confirm owner and situs information.
  • Review dealer-inventory forms when applicable.
General rendition timing Most business-personal-property renditions are ordinarily due April 15. A timely written extension generally moves the deadline to May 15, with a possible additional extension for good cause under Texas law.
Wildfire-damage guidance

Gray County Temporary Disaster-Damage Exemption

Gray CAD’s current homepage continues to publish relief information for property affected by the February 26–27 wildfires. Texas Tax Code Section 11.35 can provide a temporary exemption for qualifying property that is at least 15% damaged in a governor-declared disaster area.

Confirm that the property is in the applicable declared area. A fire, storm or other loss does not automatically qualify without the required disaster designation.
Document the property immediately. Preserve dated photographs, videos, insurance reports, repair estimates and emergency-response records.
Separate damage by property component. Identify damage to land, buildings, manufactured homes, business assets and other taxable property.
Complete Form 50-312. Use the temporary-exemption application linked by Gray CAD.
Submit the form to Gray CAD. Mail it to P.O. Box 836, Pampa, TX 79066-0836, email it to info@graycad.org or deliver it according to district instructions.
Confirm the controlling deadline. Disaster-exemption deadlines depend on the declaration and statutory notice. Call the district rather than relying on an older webpage date.
Do not treat insurance reimbursement as the appraisal-district decision. Insurance coverage, FEMA assistance and the temporary property-tax exemption are separate processes with different evidence and eligibility rules.

Tax-payment workflow

How to Search and Pay Gray County Property Taxes

Open Gray County’s official tax system. Go to gray.propertytaxpayments.net.
Select “Search & Pay Property Tax.” Do not select vehicle registration when your goal is a real-property tax payment.
Search the correct account. Use the account or property ID when possible, then compare the owner, address and legal description.
Review every tax year. Confirm whether the account includes current, prior or delinquent balances.
Check the complete amount due. Review base tax, penalty, interest and other displayed collection amounts.
Review the convenience fee. Processor charges can be separate from the tax balance.
Verify the account before authorization. Owners with several tracts, businesses or mineral accounts should check each property separately.
Save the final confirmation. Retain the account number, tax year, amount, payment date and confirmation number.
Courthouse drop box The Tax Office publishes a drop box beside the Room 101 entrance. Include a contact telephone number. The office states that transactions are processed daily and a receipt is mailed.
Electronic tax bills Gray County provides an electronic-delivery form. Completed requests may be emailed to property.taxgrayco@graycch.com or mailed to P.O. Box 382, Pampa, TX 79066.
Paying the bill does not correct an appraisal error. Payment satisfies a collection obligation. Value, exemption, property-description and ownership issues still require action through Gray CAD or the appropriate records office.
Applications and supporting evidence

Gray County Homestead, Veteran, Land and Rendition Forms

Appraisal-review workflow

How to Protest a Gray County Appraised Value

The ordinary Texas deadline for most 2026 protests was May 15 or 30 days after the Notice of Appraised Value was delivered, whichever was later. The general date has passed, but a later notice, failure to receive a required notice or another statutory procedure may create a different deadline.

Read the entire Notice of Appraised Value. Confirm the mailing or delivery date, market value, appraised value, exemptions, property description and protest deadline.
Verify the property characteristics. Review land size, building area, age, condition, property type, agricultural status and taxing entities.
Select the correct protest ground. Common issues include excessive appraisal, unequal appraisal, incorrect property description, ownership, denied exemption or denial of special appraisal.
Use the taxpayer portal when functioning. Gray CAD’s former eProtest page now redirects online appeals to portal.graycad.org.
Use a paper form when necessary. Deliver the completed Notice of Protest to Gray CAD by an officially accepted method.
Save proof of filing. Keep the portal confirmation, timestamped email, stamped copy or postal receipt.
Request and review the district’s evidence. Examine sales, property characteristics, photographs, schedules and appraisal calculations.
State the exact result you want. Identify the requested value, exemption decision, ownership correction or property-data change.
Attend the informal review and ARB hearing. Follow the hearing notice for evidence exchange, appearance and postponement procedures.

Useful protest evidence

  • Comparable sales near January 1.
  • Comparable Gray CAD records.
  • Dated condition photographs.
  • Repair estimates or inspection reports.
  • Correct building measurements.
  • Access, location or environmental evidence.
  • Exemption or agricultural documents.

Weak evidence by itself

  • A mortgage balance.
  • A higher tax bill without an appraisal issue.
  • An undated automated estimate.
  • A GIS line treated as a survey.
  • Sales from a different property class.
  • Another owner’s capped appraised value.
  • Repairs after January 1 without earlier-condition evidence.
Do not contact an ARB member privately about your property. Gray CAD states that an ARB member who discusses a taxpayer’s property outside the hearing process will not be able to hear that protest. Direct questions to the appraisal district.
Portal failure near a deadline? Record the error, contact Gray CAD immediately and submit through another accepted method. A technical problem does not automatically prove that a protest was filed.
Annual filing calendar

Gray County Property-Tax Dates to Watch

January 1 — appraisal date Property ownership, condition, use and taxable business assets are generally evaluated as of January 1.
April 15 — general rendition deadline Most business-personal-property renditions are ordinarily due April 15.
April 30 — common exemption and special-appraisal date Many exemption, agricultural, timber and wildlife applications are ordinarily due by April 30, subject to late-filing provisions.
May 15 or 30 days after notice — usual protest deadline The later date generally controls for most protests.
Summer — ARB hearings and roll certification Informal reviews, hearings, exemption processing and corrections occur before certification.
August and September — proposed-tax period Gray County’s Truth-in-Taxation database is updated as governing bodies propose and adopt tax rates.
Tax-bill season — verify before paying Match the account, tax year, exemptions, taxing entities and balance before submitting payment.
Special deadlines can apply. Late appraisal notices, omitted property, exemption denials, correction motions, weekends and legal holidays may affect the controlling date.

Estimated taxes and notifications

How to Use Gray County Truth in Taxation

Gray CAD directs owners to the county’s property-tax database during August and September to review proposed rates, estimated taxes, public-hearing information and updates from local taxing units.

Open the Gray County Truth-in-Taxation site. Go to gray.countytaxrates.com.
Enter the property information. Use the owner, address or property details from Gray CAD.
Select the matching property and choose “View.” Confirm the owner and appraisal account before reviewing estimates.
Review every taxing entity. Proposed taxes may be shown separately for the county, city, school, road, water and college jurisdictions.
Distinguish proposed from adopted rates. A proposed estimate can change before the final governing-body vote.
Subscribe to notifications. Use the button in the property-information screen and confirm the subscription email.
Why notification enrollment matters It can alert the owner when proposed-tax information or rate-adoption data changes during the annual public-hearing period.
Ownership and land-record research

How to Search Gray County Deeds and Public Records

The Gray County Clerk links to a public records index maintained through LGS Online Solutions. The Clerk warns that the online index is similar to a library card catalog and should not replace review of the underlying recorded document.

Open the County Clerk’s public-record page. Read and accept the published conditions before entering the search system.
Search all likely spelling variations. The Clerk specifically recommends checking alternate spellings and other search criteria.
Search current and previous owners. Try grantor, grantee, trust, estate and business names connected with the property.
Review the document index. Compare document type, recording date, parties, instrument information and legal description.
Open or request the underlying document. Do not make a title decision from the index entry alone.
Compare the document with Gray CAD. Confirm that the tract, survey, lot, block or mineral interest relates to the correct appraisal account.
Online-record limitation The Clerk states that the online database is not the official repository and may not display the complete or unaltered contents of every real-property record.
In-person filing identification Gray County Clerk currently requires valid identification when official public-record documents, including property transaction records, are presented for in-person filing.
Checks payable to the Gray County Clerk require extra identifying information. The Clerk’s current notice says the check must include the maker’s date of birth, driver’s-license number and telephone number. Confirm the requirement before mailing sensitive information.
Buyer, seller and heir checks

After closing

  • Confirm the deed was recorded.
  • Allow processing time for the CAD owner update.

Troubleshooting

Fix Common Gray CAD Search and Account Problems

Problem Likely reason Best next action
No result by owner Different spelling, previous owner, trust, estate or business-name format. Search only the first or last name, then try ID, address or Clerk records.
No result by address Directional, suffix, rural format or missing situs address. Search only the street name, then add the number through Advanced Search.
Too many results The search term is common or too broad. Add property type, abstract, subdivision, neighborhood or geographic ID.
New owner is missing The deed was recently recorded or has not yet been processed. Verify recording with the Clerk and provide the instrument information to Gray CAD.
Portal registration is pending Gray CAD has not approved or matched the account. Contact the district before a deadline and use another accepted filing method.
Online protest page moved The former eProtest site now redirects to the taxpayer portal. Use portal.graycad.org and save the final appeal confirmation.
GIS parcel differs from fence Approximate mapping, aerial-image shift or survey issue. Review the deed and survey; do not move a fence based only on GIS.
Homestead is missing No application, pending review, missing identification or denial. Contact Gray CAD with the property ID and application information.
Payment is not posted Processor delay, wrong account, rejected transaction or pending settlement. Keep the confirmation and contact the Tax Office at 806-669-8018.
Tax bill differs from market value Exemptions, appraisal limits, different tax year or entity-specific taxable values. Compare each entity’s taxable value and adopted rate separately.
