Boerne property records, Kendall CAD search, exemptions, protests and tax office guide
This guide helps Boerne property owners, buyers, real estate agents and land researchers use the correct official Kendall County tools to search property records, verify appraisal values, check exemptions, prepare protest evidence and understand where tax bills are handled.
The key correction is simple: there is no “Boerne County CAD” because Boerne is a city, not a county. For Boerne property appraisal records, use Kendall Appraisal District. For county tax office questions, payments and receipts, verify the correct route through Kendall County Tax Assessor-Collector or the official Kendall AD tax collection information where applicable.
Quick answer: where to search Boerne property records
Use the official Kendall AD Property Search for Boerne and Kendall County appraisal records. The search portal supports Owner, Address, ID and Advanced search tabs, which helps when you only know part of a name, address or account detail.
Use Kendall Appraisal District for appraisal value, exemptions, special valuations, ARB/protest questions and property record details. For tax office, payment, receipt or county tax-assessor questions, use the correct official Kendall County tax office route or Kendall AD tax collection information where applicable.
Quick navigation
How to search Boerne property records on Kendall CAD
The official Kendall AD property search is the safest starting point because it connects the property to the appraisal district record. Use the simplest search method first, then narrow results only after you see possible matches.
Owner name search tips for Kendall CAD
Owner-name searches can be useful, but they can also return too many results or miss a record when the name format is different. Use name search carefully and confirm the account before making any decision.
- Search last name only
- Try first name only if last name is uncommon
- Use partial spelling when unsure
- Compare multiple results before selecting
- Confirm address and property ID
- Do not trust the first similar name automatically
- Do not rely only on mailing address
- Do not use third-party owner data first
- Do not assume recent sales update immediately
- Do not treat CAD owner data as a title report
Address search tips for Boerne and Kendall County property
Address search is usually easiest for homeowners, but exact formatting can cause failed searches. The official property search help says a simpler address search can work better than a long full-format search.
| Problem | Better search method | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Full Boerne address gives no result | Try only the street name | Avoids mismatch with road abbreviations, prefixes, suffixes or rural address formatting. |
| Too many results | Use Advanced Search with more details | The official portal suggests Advanced Search when too many results appear. |
| New purchase not showing correctly | Search by property ID or prior owner | Deed and ownership changes can take time to appear across systems. |
| Rural tract or acreage search is confusing | Use legal description, owner name or property ID | Large tracts and rural addresses may not behave like city-lot addresses. |
How to read a Kendall CAD property record
Do not stop after seeing only the value. A good review checks identity, value, exemptions, land, improvements and property classification.
| Record field | What it means | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Property ID / account | Unique appraisal district reference | Use this number when calling the CAD, filing forms or checking payment details. |
| Owner name | Owner shown in appraisal records | Helpful for search, but legal title should be verified through deed/recording resources when needed. |
| Property address | Situs/location address | Confirms the property is the correct Boerne/Kendall County account. |
| Market value | CAD’s estimate of market value for the appraisal year | Often the main number reviewed in a protest. |
| Appraised value | Value after certain limits or special appraisal rules may apply | Can differ from market value, especially with homestead limitation or special valuations. |
| Land and improvement value | Separate value for land and structures | Important for Hill Country acreage, custom homes, new construction and ranch-style property. |
| Exemption/special valuation | Homestead, over-65, disability, disabled veteran, ag/timber or other treatment | Missing exemptions or special appraisals can affect taxable value and tax bills. |
Kendall CAD vs Kendall County Tax Assessor-Collector
This is the most important distinction for Boerne property owners. Kendall CAD handles appraisal matters. The county tax office handles county tax-assessor/collector functions, and Kendall AD may also provide tax collection information where applicable. Always confirm the live payment route before paying.
| User wants | Correct place | Best action |
|---|---|---|
| Property value or appraisal record | Kendall Appraisal District | Use Kendall AD property search and contact the CAD with property ID. |
| Homestead, ag/timber or exemption forms | Kendall Appraisal District | Use the official Kendall AD forms page and submit required documents. |
| Protest appraised value | Kendall CAD / ARB process | Review the notice, deadline and ARB/protest resources. |
| Tax payment or receipt | Kendall County Tax Assessor-Collector or official tax collection route | Verify the correct payment portal/office before paying. |
| Tax rates | Taxing units / Texas property tax resources | Understand that CAD does not set tax rates; local taxing units do. |
Boerne homestead, over-65, disability and ag/timber checks

- General residence homestead exemption
- Age 65 or older exemption
- Disability exemption
- Disabled veteran exemption
- Correct owner and mailing details
- Ag appraisal
- Timber-related treatment if applicable
- Wildlife management valuation

How to prepare a Kendall CAD protest
A useful protest focuses on value, unequal appraisal, exemption problems or record errors. Saying only “my taxes are too high” is usually not enough because tax bills also depend on rates and taxing units.
Evidence that can help with Boerne / Kendall CAD value review
Kendall County property can vary sharply by location, acreage, road access, views, improvements, subdivision, age and land use. Good evidence should match the property closely.
- Recent comparable sales in the same market area
- Photos of property condition problems
- Repair estimates
- Closing statement from recent purchase
- Independent appraisal or broker analysis
- Wrong square footage
- Wrong acreage
- Incorrect improvement details
- Wrong year built or quality grade
- Missing exemption or special valuation
- Only saying taxes increased
- Random online estimates
- Sales from a different property type
- Old sales from a different market period
- Unclear photos without explanation

Common Boerne County CAD mistakes to avoid
These mistakes lead to wrong records, bad payment routing, weak protests and confusion between city, county and appraisal district offices.
| Mistake | Why it hurts | Better action |
|---|---|---|
| Searching for Boerne County | Boerne is a city, not a county. | Use Kendall County and Kendall Appraisal District. |
| Using the old Kerrville address | It points users to the wrong county area. | Use 118 Market Avenue, Boerne, TX 78006 for Kendall AD. |
| Over-typing full address | Search formatting can hide results. | Try a simpler street-name search. |
| Protesting only the tax bill | CAD reviews value and appraisal issues, not tax-rate complaints. | Use evidence about market value, unequal appraisal or record errors. |
| Ignoring exemptions after purchase | Prior owner status may not solve your exemption needs. | Check your own exemption and special valuation status after closing. |
Documents and details to keep ready
Before contacting Kendall AD, filing a protest, applying for an exemption or paying taxes, keep the correct details ready.
