Important Corrections and Missing Details on the Existing Bee County CAD Page

Existing Page Problem	Current Practical Information	Why It Matters
The GIS map was described as showing exact property boundaries.	Bee CAD says its records, acreage and legal descriptions are for research and should be independently verified before legal use.	A GIS line is not a survey, title opinion or proof of legal access.
The article gave only basic owner, address and account searches.	Bee CAD also supports abstract, subdivision, condo, mobile-home park, Geo ID, Owner ID, neighborhood, DBA, property type and protest-status searches.	Ranches, minerals, businesses and mobile homes may not have a dependable street address.
No local 2026 protest dates were included.	Bee CAD published June 5, 2026, for most protests and June 26, 2026, for business-personal-property protests.	These dates were later than the generic statewide date commonly repeated online.
No telephone-hearing rules were explained.	A telephone hearing requires an affidavit of evidence and written notice at least 10 days before the hearing.	Requesting a telephone hearing without the required documents may not preserve that option.
The page omitted the online taxpayer portal and eProtest system.	Bee CAD provides a taxpayer portal, electronic communications and a separate taxpayer-appeals system.	Owners can manage applications and protest documents without relying only on paper.
Agricultural advice was generic.	Bee CAD publishes county-specific standards for animal units, acreage, beekeeping, wildlife management, cropland and stocking rates.	Owning acreage or placing a token number of animals on land does not automatically qualify it.
No current appraisal-plan details were included.	The 2025–2026 reappraisal plan identifies Beeville ISD and the City of Beeville for field inspection during tax year 2026.	Owners may see legitimate appraisal personnel inspecting or reviewing property data.
No appraisal-contractor routing was provided.	Capital Appraisal Group handles mineral, utility and industrial accounts. Western Valuation & Consulting handles real estate and personal property.	Specialized value questions may need to be routed through the district to the correct appraisal contractor.
Tax-payment fees were not explained.	The Bee County Tax Office publishes a 2.5% convenience fee for debit and credit card tax payments.	A large tax payment can generate a substantial processing charge.
No historical deed-search split was provided.	Modern records from June 1, 1995, forward use the County Clerk’s public search. Historical index books from 1851 through 1995 use Bee County QuickLink.	Searching only the modern portal can miss older deeds, easements, restrictions and mineral documents.

The former page overstated the legal reliability of the GIS map and omitted Bee County’s most useful local rules. The replacement below separates appraisal, tax and deed tasks and gives the county-specific deadlines and agricultural standards users actually need.

How to Search Bee County CAD Property Records

Open the official Bee CAD property search.

Confirm that the web address is esearch.beecad.org.

Select tax year 2026.

Use an earlier year only when comparing prior values, ownership or exemption history.

Search by Property ID when available.

The number from an appraisal notice, tax statement or closing file usually gives the cleanest result.

Otherwise search the owner as LASTNAME FIRSTNAME.

If the full name fails, use only the first or last name, trustee, estate or business word.

Simplify an unsuccessful address.

Use the street number and main street name. Remove punctuation, city names, unit numbers and unnecessary suffixes.

Use Advanced Search for rural property.

Try abstract, subdivision, neighborhood, Geo ID, property type or the interactive map.

Use mobile-home and condo fields where relevant.

The official search includes Mobile Home Park and Condo filters.

Select the correct property type.

Bee CAD separates Real, Personal, Mineral, Auto and Mobile Home accounts.

Use Doing Business As for a business account.

The DBA field can work better than the legal owner or building address.

Open every matching Property ID.

A ranch, mineral owner or business can have several separately appraised accounts.

Match the legal description before relying on the result.

Similar family names and rural mailing addresses can lead to the wrong tract.

Save a dated copy.

Print or save the account before requesting a correction, filing an application or preparing protest evidence.

Recent-purchase tip Search the seller when the buyer does not appear. A deed can be recorded before the appraisal ownership display is updated.

Official property search: Open Bee CAD Property Search.

What to Try When Bee CAD Returns No Result

Search Problem	Better Method	Why It Works
Full owner name fails	Use only the first or last name.	Initials, spouses, trusts and suffixes may be stored differently.
Recent buyer is missing	Search the seller or previous owner.	Recorded deeds and CAD ownership updates may occur at different times.
Ranch has no usable address	Use abstract, Geo ID, legal description or GIS.	Rural appraisal accounts are often organized by survey information.
Only one family tract appears	Repeat the owner search and compare every Property ID.	One ownership can include several separately appraised tracts.
Manufactured home is missing	Select Mobile Home and search the structure owner or mobile-home park.	The home and land may have different owners and accounts.
Business equipment is missing	Select Personal Property and use the DBA field.	Equipment is not necessarily part of the building’s real-estate account.
Mineral property is missing	Select Mineral and search the owner, former owner, lease or operator.	Mineral ownership can be separate from surface ownership.
Too many results appear	Add subdivision, neighborhood, property type, Geo ID or Owner ID.	Advanced filters narrow broad owner and address searches.

“I am trying to locate a Bee County appraisal account. The owner or former owner is ______. The property is near ______. My Property ID, Geo ID, abstract, subdivision, mobile-home park or legal-description clue is ______.”

Still cannot find it? Call Bee CAD at 361-358-0193 or email bee@beecad.org.

How to Read a Bee County Appraisal Record

Record Field	Meaning	What to Check
Property ID	Primary appraisal-account identifier.	Use it for calls, applications, protests and tax searches.
Geographic ID	Map-oriented identifier tied to the appraisal account.	Useful for rural land without a normal address.
Legal Description	Appraisal summary of abstract, survey, subdivision, lot or tract information.	Compare it with the deed and survey before legal use.
Property Type	Real, Personal, Mineral, Auto or Mobile Home account.	Confirm you opened the correct category.
Market Value	District opinion of market value as of January 1.	Review land class, improvement size, age, condition and location.
Agricultural Value	Productivity value for qualifying open-space agricultural land.	Do not confuse the lower productivity value with market value.
Homestead Cap Loss	Value excluded by an applicable residence-homestead limitation.	A new owner may not immediately receive the seller’s cap benefit.
Circuit Breaker Loss	Value excluded by the temporary qualifying non-homestead limitation.	For 2026, qualifying non-homestead real property must generally be valued at $5,320,000 or less.
Exemptions	Approved homestead, age, disability, veteran or organizational relief.	Confirm it appears on the correct account and taxing units.
Deed History	Selected ownership-document references.	Verify the full instrument through the County Clerk.

Research limitation: Bee CAD expressly states that legal descriptions and acreage amounts should be verified before they are used in legal documents.

How to Use the Bee CAD Interactive GIS Map

Find the appraisal account first.

Copy the Property ID, Geo ID, abstract, acreage and legal description.

Open the official BIS Interactive Map.

Allow extra time for the mapping application to load on a mobile connection.

Locate the general tract area.

Use roads, nearby communities, neighboring accounts and recognizable landmarks.

Match the selected parcel.

Compare the Property ID, Geo ID, legal description and acreage with the property page.

Save a dated screenshot when useful.

Label it with the Property ID before using it in research or protest evidence.

The GIS map can help with

General parcel location
Rural tract orientation
Nearby appraisal accounts
Subdivision and road context
Unusual tract-shape research

The GIS map cannot prove

Exact legal boundaries
Clear ownership
Legal road access
Mineral ownership
Survey-grade acreage

Official GIS: Open the Bee CAD Interactive Map.

Bee County Property Types That Need Different Search Strategies

Beeville homes and commercial property Begin with Property ID, owner or simplified address. Check improvement details and exemptions.

Pettus, Skidmore and Tynan property Confirm the correct school district and every taxing unit attached to the account.

Ranches and rural acreage Search owner, abstract, legal description, Geo ID and GIS when no reliable address exists.

Beekeeping acreage Confirm acreage, hive count, year-round use or rotation records and apiary registration.

Manufactured homes Search the home owner and land owner separately when ownership differs.

Mineral interests Select Mineral and compare the account with deeds, probate documents and royalty records.

Business personal property Select Personal Property and search the business name or DBA.

Wildlife-management land Confirm the previous agricultural qualification, acreage percentage and current wildlife plan.

Trust or estate property Search the trustee, decedent, estate, beneficiary and former owner.

Market Value, Appraised Value and Taxable Value

Market Value → Homestead Cap, Circuit Breaker or Agricultural Value → Exemptions → Taxable Value

Market value Bee CAD’s January 1 opinion of what the property would sell for under normal market conditions.

Appraised value The value after an applicable appraisal limitation or agricultural productivity appraisal.

Taxable value The amount remaining after exemptions and limitations for each taxing unit.

A homestead cap does not limit the market-value line to a 10% increase. It generally limits growth in appraised value after qualification requirements are met, plus qualifying new improvements.

2026 appraisal resources: Bee CAD publishes a 2026 mass-appraisal report, 2026 personal-property depreciation schedule and a low-income-housing capitalization-rate range of 8% to 10%, depending on age and condition.

Bee County Homestead and Related Exemptions

2026 school-tax exemptions: The general residence-homestead exemption is $140,000. Qualifying age-65 or disabled homeowners receive an additional $60,000 school-district exemption.

Residence homestead For an owner’s principal residence when ownership and occupancy requirements are satisfied.

Age 65 or disabled May provide additional exemption relief, a school-tax ceiling and installment-payment options.

Disabled veteran Relief depends on the qualifying disability rating and statutory category.

Practical Homestead Application Workflow

Find the correct Property ID.

Confirm the residence, owner and land account before completing the form.

Download the official application or use the taxpayer portal.

Bee CAD provides downloadable exemption forms and online application management.

Attach a color copy of the applicant’s driver license.

Additional affidavits or documents may be required in special ownership situations.

Submit the application directly to Bee CAD.

Use 401 N. Washington Street, Beeville, TX 78102 for mailed or delivered forms.

Keep proof and confirm approval.

Submission does not prove the exemption was approved or applied to every taxing unit.

Homestead applications are free. Bee CAD warns owners not to pay private companies that imply a filing fee is required.

Missed April 30? A qualifying residence-homestead application may generally be filed up to two years after the taxes become delinquent.

Official exemption actions: Open Bee CAD Downloadable Forms or open the Taxpayer Portal.

Bee County Agricultural Appraisal, Beekeeping and Wildlife Standards

Local standard: Bee CAD’s published Agricultural Use and Intensity Standards were amended October 26, 2023, and remain linked as the district’s county guidance.

General use history The land generally must have been devoted to qualifying agricultural use for five of the preceding seven years.

Most grazing operations The county standard generally requires at least three animal units and at least 10 acres.

Primary-use requirement Agriculture must be the land’s principal use, not a token or secondary activity.

Bee County Livestock and Acreage Examples

Operation	Published Local Guideline	Evidence to Keep
Cow and calf	At least three animal units and a 10-acre minimum for the typical operation.	Breeding records, sales, veterinary receipts, feed, fencing and photographs.
Sheep	A typical flock includes at least 14 ewes and one ram, with a 10-acre minimum.	Flock inventory, breeding records, sales, feed and veterinary documentation.
Goats	A typical herd includes at least 17 breeding-age animals and one billy goat, with a 10-acre minimum.	Herd inventory, breeding, sales, fencing, feed and health records.
Horse breeding	At least three breeding-age mares; a typical operation may require approximately 15 to 20 acres.	Breeding contracts, registration, foaling records, sales and supplemental-feed records.
Stocker or feeder	At least 10 head and a 10-acre minimum under the county guideline.	Purchase and sale records, weight records, feed and pasture-management documents.
Cropland or improved pasture	A 10-acre minimum is listed for common cropland and improved-pasture operations.	Planting, harvesting, fertilization, weed-control, baling and sales records.
Truck farming	A one-acre minimum may be considered when commercial production and management are documented.	Irrigation, planting, harvest and sales receipts.

Bee County Beekeeping Requirements

Eligible acreage Beekeeping agricultural use applies to land of at least five acres and no more than 20 acres.

Hive intensity The county standard begins with three complete colonies and adds one colony for each additional two acres, up to 10 colonies on 20 acres.

Operation evidence Colonies must be maintained, and the operation should be registered with the Texas Apiary Inspection Service.

Rotating hives: The published standard says rotated colonies must be increased to equal full annual use, with a minimum period of two continuous months at six times the annual rate.

Wildlife-Management Acreage Percentages

Single tract The published minimum wildlife-use percentage is 94%, corresponding to approximately 16.67 acres.

Property association The published minimum is 91%, corresponding to approximately 11.11 acres.

Designated species habitat The published minimum is 91%, corresponding to approximately 11.11 acres.

Published Stocking-Rate Guide

Land Type	Guideline Per Animal Unit	Important Limitation
Native pasture with light brush	Approximately 15–18 acres	Rainfall, soil and management can change the appropriate rate.
Native pasture in Pawnee or Mineral area	Approximately 17–20 acres	The chief appraiser reviews applications case by case.
Heavy brush	Approximately 20–23 acres	Token grazing does not satisfy intensity requirements.
Heavy brush in Pawnee or Mineral area	Approximately 25–28 acres	Current drought and usable forage should be documented.
Improved pasture	Approximately 8–10 acres	Show fertilization, brush control and pasture-management practices.

Agricultural evidence tip Organize every record by Property ID and tax year. Maps, photographs, lease agreements, hive records, stocking records and receipts should clearly identify the tract they support.

Late agricultural filing: The published county standard explains that a late application may be accepted before the ARB approves the appraisal records, with a penalty equal to 10% of the tax savings. Contact Bee CAD immediately because the 2026 timing is already critical.

Official agricultural resources: Open Bee County Agricultural and Wildlife Forms.

How to Search Bee County Mineral Accounts

Specialized appraisal: Capital Appraisal Group handles mineral, utility and industrial accounts for Bee CAD.

Select Mineral as the property type.

A normal real-estate search may not display the mineral interest.

Search the owner, trust, estate or former owner.

Mineral ownership may remain under a different name from the surface property.

Try lease and operator clues.

These may work better than a street address.

Open every matching account.

One owner can hold interests in multiple leases, wells or units.

Compare with legal and payment documents.

Use mineral deeds, probate records, assignments, division orders and royalty statements.

A mineral appraisal account is not a mineral-title opinion. Surface ownership does not prove mineral ownership, and legal title may require professional research.

Bee County Business Personal Property Rendition

2026 exemption level: Income-producing tangible personal property totaling $125,000 or less in a taxing unit may qualify for exemption under current Texas law.

Current local schedule: Bee CAD publishes a 2026 personal-property depreciation schedule on its Data and Records page.

Locate the Personal Property account.

Do not use the building owner’s real-estate Property ID for tenant-owned equipment.

Prepare a January 1 asset list.

Separate inventory, machinery, equipment, computers, furniture and fixtures.

Review the 2026 depreciation schedule.

Compare the district schedule with acquisition year, condition and functional obsolescence.

Download the rendition and instructions.

Bee CAD posts a Personal Property Rendition Instruction Guide and rendition form.

Explain condition or obsolescence.

Use acquisition dates, original cost, invoices, photographs and repair information.

Keep the filed form and proof.

Save the complete rendition, asset schedule and delivery confirmation.

Normal deadline: Most business renditions are due April 15. A timely written extension generally moves the deadline to May 15.

Official business resources: Open Bee CAD Rendition Forms and review the 2026 depreciation schedule.

2026 Bee County Protest and Late-Remedy Guide

Bee CAD’s published 2026 protest deadlines have passed. The general deadline was June 5, 2026. The business-personal-property deadline was June 26, 2026.

Most property June 5, 2026, was Bee CAD’s published protest filing deadline.

Business personal property June 26, 2026, was Bee CAD’s published BPP protest deadline.

Practical Protest Workflow

Save the appraisal notice and property record.

Record the Property ID, value, property type and deadline.

Identify every protest reason.

Possible issues include market value, unequal appraisal, incorrect improvements, ownership, exemption or agricultural qualification.

Use the taxpayer portal or eProtest system.

Request the district’s evidence.

Ask for comparable properties, schedules, photographs and appraisal calculations.

Prepare a short property-specific packet.

Use dated photos, repair estimates, measurements, adjusted comparables, leases or agricultural evidence.

State the requested correction clearly.

Lead with the district value, requested value and strongest exhibit.

Telephone Hearing and Postponement Rules

Telephone hearing Bee CAD states that the owner or agent must submit an affidavit of evidence and written notice at least 10 days before the hearing.

One postponement A property owner or agent is entitled to one postponement when it is requested in writing before the hearing date.

Possible Options After the Deadline

Possible Procedure	When It May Apply	Immediate Action
Late protest for good cause	A qualifying reason prevented timely filing.	Contact Bee CAD immediately and ask whether the ARB can still hear it.
Failure to receive required notice	A legally required appraisal or hearing notice was not received.	Ask about the notice-related hearing and tax-payment requirements.
Late homestead application	The owner qualified but missed the normal exemption date.	Submit the application within the statutory late-filing period.
Appraisal-roll correction	A qualifying clerical, ownership or statutory appraisal error exists.	Identify the exact error and ask which Texas Tax Code procedure applies.

Hearing tip Have evidence ready before the informal meeting or ARB hearing. Bee CAD specifically advises owners to prepare evidence before appearing to protest.

Official protest actions: Open Bee CAD Taxpayer Appeals, open the Taxpayer Portal or download the Notice of Protest and Affidavit of Evidence.

How to Search and Pay Bee County Property Taxes

Correct office: Bee CAD determines appraisal value and exemptions. Bee County Tax Assessor-Collector Michelle Matus handles property-tax bills and payments.

Review every available tax year.

Paying the newest bill does not automatically clear an older delinquency.

Confirm every taxing unit and total due.

Bee County accounts can include school, city, college, water, emergency-service and utility-district taxes.

Review the payment fee.

The Tax Office publishes a 2.5% convenience fee for debit and credit card tax payments.

Use subdivision or document-type filters.

Look for deeds, deeds of trust, releases, liens, easements, restrictions, oil and gas leases, royalty deeds and plats.

Match the complete legal description.

A matching name alone does not prove that a document concerns the correct property.

Follow references to earlier documents.

A deed may refer to an older easement, restriction, mineral reservation, deed of trust or release.

Order the correct copy.

Use a certified copy when a court, lender, title company or legal process requires certification.
