How to Search Llano County CAD Property Records
The official search supports owner, address, Property ID, ARB and advanced searches. Advanced filters include abstract, property type, subdivision, condominium, mobile-home park, neighborhood, geographic ID and tax year.
Confirm that the page identifies itself as Llano CAD Property Search and links back to llanocad.net.
The number from an appraisal notice or tax statement normally produces the most precise result.
Try the last name alone before adding a first name, middle initial, trust or business suffix.
Begin with the street name or the street number and one main street word.
Subdivision, condominium and neighborhood filters are useful around Horseshoe Bay, Kingsland, Blue Lake, Sunrise Beach and other platted communities.
Ranches and vacant tracts may not have a reliable street address.
The database includes real, personal, mineral, auto and mobile-home property types.
A waterfront owner, ranch operator or business can have multiple lots and separate taxable accounts.
Confirm subdivision, lot, block, abstract, acreage and geographic ID before trusting the result.
Check land class, building data, market value, appraised value, taxable value and exemption codes.
Print the account or save it as a PDF before filing a correction, application or protest.
What to Do When the Llano Property Search Returns No Result
| Search Problem | Try This | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Owner name returns nothing | Use only the first or last name. | The official search recommends simplified name searches. |
| Too many owner matches | Use Advanced Search with subdivision, abstract or property type. | Additional filters narrow large result lists. |
| Street address fails | Use only the street name. | Directional words, abbreviations and unit numbers may differ. |
| Lake lot has no usable address | Search the subdivision, lot, block or GIS location. | Vacant or older platted lots may be stored mainly by legal description. |
| Recent buyer is missing | Search the seller and County Clerk deed records. | Recording and appraisal updates occur on different timelines. |
| Ranch shows only one tract | Search the owner again and compare all Property IDs. | One ranch can include several abstracts or accounts. |
| Mobile home cannot be found | Select Mobile Home and search the home owner separately from the landowner. | The home and land may have separate ownership. |
| Mineral interest is missing | Select Mineral and search the royalty owner, lease or prior owner. | Mineral interests can be severed from surface ownership. |
How to Read a Llano CAD Property Record
| Record Field | Plain-English Meaning | Owner Check |
|---|---|---|
| Property ID | The appraisal account identifier. | Use it on forms, tax payments and correspondence. |
| Owner | Ownership currently maintained on the appraisal roll. | Compare it with the newest recorded deed. |
| Mailing address | Address used for appraisal correspondence. | Submit the district’s change form when it is incorrect. |
| Situs address | Physical location associated with the account. | Do not confuse it with the owner’s mailing address. |
| Legal description | Subdivision, lot, block, abstract, survey or tract description. | Use the deed and survey for legal decisions. |
| Market value | Estimated January 1 market value before caps or exemptions. | Review location, view, water access, improvements and condition. |
| Appraised value | Value after an applicable appraisal limitation. | Check for a homestead cap or non-homestead limitation. |
| Taxable value | Value after exemptions for one taxing entity. | County, school, city and special-district amounts can differ. |
| Land value | Value assigned to the site or acreage. | Check waterfront influence, access, topography and agricultural treatment. |
| Improvements | Homes, docks, garages, barns, shops and commercial structures. | Review size, age, quality, use and condition. |
| Property type | Real, personal, mineral, auto or mobile-home classification. | Search separate types when one account appears incomplete. |
| Exemptions | Homestead, age-65, disability, veteran or other approved relief. | Confirm each benefit under every applicable taxing unit. |
How to Use the Llano CAD Interactive GIS Map
Copy the owner, legal description, subdivision and geographic ID.
Search or zoom to the relevant community, road, lake or neighboring parcel.
Confirm the same Property ID and legal description.
Look for separate access strips, common ownership, utility tracts and subdivision reserves.
A Horseshoe Bay, Kingsland or Marble Falls mailing address may not identify the correct county, city or school boundary.
Review houses, docks, pools, barns, detached garages and other structures.
Do not build, fence, clear or resolve shoreline access from the GIS layer alone.
Extra Checks for Lake LBJ, Lake Buchanan and Highland Lakes Property
Waterfront and water-view property can vary sharply based on actual shoreline rights, elevation, access, dock status, water depth, subdivision restrictions and flood conditions.
| Lake Property Issue | What to Verify | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Waterfront versus water view | Deed, survey, plat and physical shoreline | A water view does not create waterfront ownership. |
| Dock or boathouse | Permit, ownership, condition and appraisal record | A dock can affect value and may be subject to separate rules. |
| Constant-level assumption | Actual lake conditions and operating authority | Different Highland Lakes have different water-level behavior. |
| Flood exposure | Floodplain, elevation certificate, drainage and insurance | Flood risk can affect use, financing and value. |
| Subdivision restrictions | Recorded covenants, POA rules and architectural controls | Restrictions may limit building, rentals, docks or lot use. |
| Septic and utilities | System approval, capacity, water service and utility easements | A small or steep lot may have limited development options. |
| County boundary | Actual county and appraisal district | Highland Lakes communities can extend across county lines. |
Market Value, Appraised Value, Taxable Value and Tax Estimate
Residence-homestead appraisal cap
A qualifying residence homestead’s appraised value generally cannot increase by more than 10% over the preceding year’s appraised value, plus the value of new improvements.
Non-homestead limitation
Qualifying non-homestead real property within the current statutory value limit may receive Texas’s temporary 20% appraisal limitation, subject to ownership and property-type requirements.
Llano County Taxing Units and Boundary Checks
Llano CAD appraises property for 16 local governing bodies. The exact list on an account depends on the parcel’s county, city, school, emergency-services, road, water or municipal-utility boundaries.
| Boundary Issue | Examples | Owner Check |
|---|---|---|
| School district | Llano ISD, Burnet ISD or Johnson City ISD portions | Use the appraisal account, not the mailing city. |
| City | Llano, Horseshoe Bay or Sunrise Beach | Confirm whether the property is inside municipal limits. |
| Emergency services | Different ESD boundaries | Nearby rural properties can have different ESD assignments. |
| Water or MUD | Kingsland MUD, Llano County MUD No. 1 and other districts | Confirm whether district taxes and service obligations apply. |
| Road district | Special road-district accounts | Review every entity listed on the tax account. |
| County line | Horseshoe Bay, Marble Falls or lake-area postal addresses | Verify that the parcel is actually in Llano County. |
Llano County Residence Homestead Exemption
A residence homestead is the owner’s principal home. It is not available for a second home, vacation property or short-term rental that is not the applicant’s principal residence.
| Benefit | General 2026 Effect | Main Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Mandatory school exemption | $140,000 removed from school taxable value | Ownership interest and principal-residence use. |
| Local-option exemption | Depends on the taxing entity | Approved residence homestead and local adoption. |
| Age-65 school exemption | Additional $60,000 school exemption | Qualifying owner age 65 or older. |
| Disabled-person school exemption | Additional $60,000 school exemption | Owner meets the statutory disability definition. |
| School tax ceiling | Limits qualifying school taxes | Approved age-65 or disabled residence homestead. |
| Appraisal cap | Generally limits annual appraised-value growth to 10%, plus new improvements | Approved residence homestead after the applicable qualifying period. |
How to apply
Confirm the owner, Property ID, physical address and legal description.
Use the current form linked by Llano CAD.
Llano CAD states that homestead applications must include a driver license or other information required by the Texas Property Tax Code.
Heir property, manufactured homes, address differences and unusual ownership can require additional documents.
Do not pay an outside company simply to submit a free residence-homestead application.
Contact the district if the regular April 30 filing period has passed rather than assuming the application is permanently barred.
Check the exemption and taxable value under every applicable entity.
Disabled Veteran and Surviving-Spouse Exemptions
| Qualification | General Benefit | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 10%-29% disability | $5,000 exemption | Qualifying VA or military documentation. |
| 30%-49% disability | $7,500 exemption | Qualifying VA or military documentation. |
| 50%-69% disability | $10,000 exemption | Qualifying VA or military documentation. |
| 70%-100% disability | $12,000 under the general disabled-veteran program | Qualifying VA or military documentation. |
| 100% disabled veteran homestead | Total exemption for a qualifying residence homestead | Qualifying VA disability or individual-unemployability determination. |
| Qualifying surviving spouse | Certain veteran benefits may continue | Marriage, death, service, occupancy and remarriage records. |
Llano County 1-d-1 Agricultural Appraisal
Agricultural appraisal values qualifying land according to productive capacity rather than unrestricted market value. It is not a complete tax exemption.
| Qualification Area | What Must Be Proven | Useful Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Principal use | Land is principally devoted to qualifying agricultural production. | Livestock, hay, crop, orchard, lease and sales records. |
| Degree of intensity | The operation meets locally typical intensity. | Stocking, water, fencing, cultivation, feed and expense records. |
| Use history | The land has the required history of qualifying use. | Prior leases, receipts, photographs and tax records. |
| Homesite separation | Residential and non-agricultural areas are identified separately. | Survey, GIS printout and acreage breakdown. |
| Leased operation | The lease supports a genuine agricultural operation. | Written lease, payment proof and operator records. |
| Change of use | Whether qualifying agricultural use ended. | Development plan, sale documents and affected-acreage map. |
Practical filing checklist
- List every Property ID in the operation
- Separate homesite, lake-use and non-agricultural acreage
- Prepare multiple years of use records
- Include livestock, crop, water and fencing evidence
- Identify the actual operator when land is leased
- Complete the current Form 50-129
- File by the regular April 30 deadline when possible
- Keep delivery proof and a complete copy
- Investigate rollback tax before changing use
Wildlife-Management Appraisal
Wildlife management can continue qualifying 1-d-1 agricultural use when the statutory requirements are met. Recreational hunting by itself is not enough.
Examples of management practices
- Habitat control
- Erosion control
- Predator management
- Supplemental water
- Supplemental food
- Shelter development
- Wildlife census activity
Business Personal Property Renditions
Businesses generally must render tangible personal property used to produce income as of January 1. This can include inventory, furniture, machinery, vehicles, computers, tools and leased or consigned goods.
| Business Situation | Official Filing Point | Practical Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Assets under $20,000 | Form 50-144, first page and applicable Schedule A | Describe the asset categories and location. |
| Assets above $20,000 | Form 50-144 with applicable detailed schedules | Prepare historical cost, acquisition date or defensible value information. |
| Leased or consigned goods | Complete the applicable leased-property schedule | Provide owner, address and property description. |
| Multiple locations | Separate rendition for each existing account or location | Do not combine unrelated stores, yards or offices into one unexplained total. |
| Business vehicles | Provide plate, VIN, year, make and model | Match vehicles to their January 1 location. |
| Late filing | Contact Llano CAD immediately | A 10% penalty can apply to late or missing renditions. |
Mineral, Quarry and Severed-Interest Records
The property database includes a Mineral property type. Mineral ownership can be separate from surface ownership, and recorded reservations or assignments may control the legal interest.
| Issue | Records to Review | Starting Point |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral account cannot be found | Mineral deed, reservation, lease, assignment and owner name | Llano CAD Mineral search and County Clerk records. |
| Wrong mineral owner | Recorded mineral deed, probate and assignment documents | County Clerk, title professional and Llano CAD. |
| Granite or quarry property | Surface ownership, lease, operating property and business assets | Real-property and business-personal-property accounts. |
| Surface deed mentions a reservation | Referenced prior deed and complete title chain | County Clerk and title professional. |
| Mineral tax is unpaid | Property ID, owner, tax year and current payoff | Llano County Tax Assessor-Collector. |
How to Protest a Llano CAD Appraisal
| Protest Issue | Stronger Evidence | Weak Argument |
|---|---|---|
| Market value too high | Adjusted sales, appraisal, condition evidence and repair estimates | The tax bill is unaffordable. |
| Unequal appraisal | Comparable appraised properties adjusted for location, view, size and quality | One cheaper property from a different lake or school district. |
| Lakefront classification | Survey, deed, shoreline facts, water access and comparable sales | The property is near the lake. |
| Incorrect improvement data | Measurements, plans, photographs, permits and demolition proof | Unsupported verbal statements. |
| Agricultural denial | Use history, intensity, leases, livestock and expense records | The tract is large or rural. |
| Exemption denial | Ownership, occupancy, identification, age, disability or veteran records | The owner visits the property frequently. |
Practical protest workflow
Confirm the Property ID, proposed value, exemptions and deadline.
Review land, improvements, classifications, exemptions and prior values.
Market value, unequal appraisal, ownership, exemption and special appraisal are separate grounds.
The older eProtest page now directs taxpayers to portal.llanocad.net.
Keep the portal confirmation, email, fax record, stamped copy or accepted mailing proof.
Review sales, property cards, photographs, maps and calculations planned for the hearing.
Wrong acreage, improvement size, lake classification or property type may be easier to resolve than a broad valuation disagreement.
State the requested value, strongest facts and exhibit numbers.
An appraiser may resolve verified factual or valuation issues before the formal hearing.
The ARB is independent of Llano CAD, the Tax Office and the taxing entities.
Further remedies may include arbitration, SOAH or district court when eligibility rules are met.
Possible Options After the Protest Deadline
| Possible Remedy | When It May Apply | Important Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Good-cause late protest | A qualifying reason caused the standard deadline to be missed | The ARB evaluates good cause under applicable law and procedures. |
| Failure to receive required notice | A required appraisal or hearing notice was not delivered | Act quickly and document the address and notice history. |
| One-fourth correction | A residence homestead meets the statutory over-appraisal threshold | Filing and tax-payment requirements apply. |
| One-third correction | Other property meets the statutory threshold | Filing and tax-payment requirements apply. |
| Clerical or ownership correction | The roll contains a qualifying statutory error | A normal value disagreement is not automatically a clerical error. |
| Late exemption filing | The exemption statute permits late filing | Submit the application promptly with supporting documents. |
How to Search and Pay Llano County Property Taxes
Llano CAD appraises property but does not collect the tax. Payments, balances and receipts are handled by Llano County Tax Assessor-Collector Kris Fogelberg.
Confirm the owner and legal description before opening the tax search.
Use its approved property-tax search and payment link.
A current-year payment does not clear an older delinquent balance.
Real property, mobile homes, minerals and business accounts can carry independent balances.
Penalty, interest and collection expenses can make an older statement inaccurate.
The County Tax Office currently posts a 2.5% convenience fee for card payments.
Keep the account number, tax year, date, amount and confirmation number.
Do not repeat a recent transaction without checking with the Tax Office.

Phone: 325-247-4165
Main-office hours: 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
How to Search Llano County Deeds, Liens and Easements
The County Clerk’s online property records extend from 1880 to current. Records are updated daily and uploaded overnight.
Save the owner, prior owner, legal description, subdivision and approximate transaction date.
Use Document Search, Party Search or Advanced Search.
Try individuals, spouses, trusts, estates, companies and alternate spellings.
Review deeds, deeds of trust, releases, liens, easements, restrictions, plats, mineral deeds and assignments.
A matching owner name is not enough when the party owns several lots or tracts.
A current deed can refer to an older easement, subdivision restriction, mineral reservation or plat.
Purchase a certified copy when a lender, court, probate matter or legal transaction requires it.
Monitor personal, trust and business names for newly recorded documents.
Foreclosure and Tax-Sale Research
Foreclosure sales are generally scheduled for the first Tuesday of the month. Each notice must be read carefully because mortgage foreclosure and property-tax foreclosure involve different debts, parties and title risks.
- Match the notice to the exact Property ID and legal description
- Identify the trustee and sale type
- Search the complete deed and lien history
- Check unpaid property taxes
- Review bankruptcy and probate issues
- Confirm access, occupancy and physical condition
- Investigate floodplain and lake restrictions
- Check utilities, septic and subdivision rules
- Obtain professional title and legal advice
Local Llano County Property Scenarios
| Property Situation | Important Checks | Hidden Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Llano city residence | City limits, Llano ISD, homestead, improvement data and taxes | A mailing address alone may not confirm every taxing entity. |
| Horseshoe Bay property | County line, city limits, school district, POA, utilities and lake rights | Horseshoe Bay extends across county boundaries. |
| Kingsland property | MUD, subdivision, floodplain, septic, lake access and school district | A Kingsland address does not establish waterfront or municipal status. |
| Buchanan Dam property | Lake level, floodplain, water service, septic, access and lot dimensions | Lake-view and lakefront properties are not comparable without adjustment. |
| Sunrise Beach home | City boundary, subdivision, lake rights, utilities and exemptions | City and POA obligations can be separate. |
| Ranch or acreage | All abstracts, agricultural use, water, fencing, access and homesite | One operation can include several Property IDs. |
| Wildlife tract | Prior agricultural status, written plan, acreage and annual activity | Hunting use alone does not establish qualification. |
| Granite or commercial operation | Real estate, business assets, leases, inventory and site improvements | Land and operating assets can be separately appraised. |
| Mobile home | Home owner, landowner, serial information, physical location and taxes | The home and land may have different owners and accounts. |
