Mitchell County Property Records, Values and Tax Help

Search a Mitchell County property by owner, address or property ID, then use the record to verify the appraised value, land and improvement details, exemptions, taxing entities and account information.

This guide also explains the part the search screen does not: where to pay taxes, how to file a protest, which exemption form to use, why a deed search belongs with the County Clerk, and what the district’s 2026 reinspection schedule means for Loraine and Roscoe ISD properties.

Choose your task

Start With the Right Mitchell County Office or Portal

A property search, appraisal protest, deed copy and tax payment may involve the same parcel, but they are not handled by the same office. Select your goal below before opening an official portal.

Find a parcel or owner

Use the Mitchell CAD search to find owner information, property ID, legal description, values, exemptions and improvement data.

Open CAD property search →

Dispute a value or exemption

Use the online protest system when the notice provides online filing access, or submit the official Notice of Protest form.

Open online protest →

Pay a property-tax bill

Payments go to the Mitchell County Tax Assessor-Collector, not the appraisal district.

Open tax-payment search →

Apply for an exemption

Download the correct state form, attach the requested identification or eligibility evidence, and file it with Mitchell CAD.

Find a deed or recorded document

Use the Mitchell County Clerk’s official public-record system. CAD data is not a substitute for the recorded deed.

Check proposed taxes or rates

Use the Truth-in-Taxation database during the annual rate-adoption period to compare proposed and adopted amounts.

Do not pay a third-party “property record” website for a basic CAD lookup. The Mitchell CAD owner, address and property-ID search is publicly accessible. A fee may apply only when you order certified documents, make a tax payment through a card processor, or request another fee-based government service.

Official search workflow

How to Search Mitchell County CAD Property Records

The official search system provides separate tabs for Owner, Address, ID and Advanced searches. Start with the smallest reliable piece of information instead of entering a fully formatted mailing address.

Open the official Mitchell CAD property-search system. Use esearch.mitchellcad.org. You normally do not need to create an account for a public search.

Select the search tab that matches the information you have. Choose Owner for a person or business, Address for a street location, ID for a known property account number, or Advanced for broader filtering.

Enter a short search term first. For an owner, try the last name without punctuation. For an address, begin with the street number and street name without “Street,” “Road,” “Avenue” or a ZIP code.

Example: use 2112 Hickory before trying a complete postal address.

Review the result list before opening a record. Compare the owner, situs address, property ID and legal-description preview. One owner may have several real-property, mineral or business-personal-property accounts.

Open the matching account and confirm the tax year. Check whether the screen is showing the current appraisal year or historical information. Save the property ID because it is the fastest way to return to the same account.

Read the value and exemption sections separately. Market value, appraised value and taxable value are not interchangeable. Taxable value can also differ between taxing entities because exemptions are applied separately.

Save evidence before making a correction or protest request. Print the page or save it as a PDF. Include the property ID, tax year and date viewed so staff can identify the exact record you are questioning.

Search by owner

Best for: finding multiple properties owned under the same name.

Try last name first. For a business, remove punctuation and common endings such as LLC or Inc. if the first search returns no match.

Search by address

Best for: residential and commercial parcels with a known physical location.

Do not use the owner’s mailing address unless it is also the property’s situs address.

Search by property ID

Best for: appraisal notices, tax bills, protest evidence and repeat searches.

Enter only the account or property ID shown on the official document. Avoid adding spaces or labels unless the portal displays them.

Use advanced search

Best for: legal-description terms, subdivisions, property types or broader research.

Use one or two filters at a time. Too many filters can exclude the correct record because of abbreviations or older database formatting.

Field decoder

What Each Mitchell CAD Property-Record Field Means

Record field	What it tells you	What to verify
Property or account ID	The appraisal district’s unique identifier for that account.	Use this number when calling, emailing, paying, filing a form or submitting protest evidence.
Owner name	The ownership name currently carried in the appraisal database.	A recent deed may not yet be reflected. Confirm title through the County Clerk’s recorded documents.
Mailing address	Where appraisal and tax-related correspondence may be sent.	This may be different from the property’s physical location.
Situs address	The physical address assigned to the parcel or improvement.	Rural, mineral and vacant-land accounts may not display a conventional street address.
Legal description	A database description used to identify the tract, lot, block, survey or abstract.	Do not use the CAD description or acreage alone to prepare a deed, contract or boundary document.
Market value	The district’s opinion of the property’s value as of the applicable January 1 appraisal date.	Compare land and improvement components and confirm the displayed appraisal year.
Appraised value	The value after applicable appraisal limitations or special-appraisal rules.	It may be lower than market value for a qualified homestead or specially appraised land.
Taxable value	The value subject to a specific taxing entity after its applicable exemptions.	There may be several taxable values because each entity can apply different exemptions.
Exemption codes	Indicates approved homestead, age-65, disability, veteran or other exemptions.	A missing code can mean an application is pending, denied, canceled or not filed.
Land and improvements	Separates land value from houses, buildings, structures or business improvements.	Check square footage, construction type, age, condition and improvement count for errors.
Taxing entities	The county, city, school district and special districts associated with the account.	Confirm the property is assigned to the correct city, ISD and special districts.

CAD acreage and legal descriptions are research information, not a survey or title opinion. The official search system warns users to verify legal descriptions and acreage before using them for legal documents. For ownership instruments, liens, releases and recorded plats, use the Mitchell County Clerk’s official records.

Local 2026 appraisal context

What the 2026 Loraine and Roscoe ISD Reinspection Cycle Means

Mitchell CAD’s published reappraisal plan places the Loraine ISD and Roscoe ISD portions of Mitchell County in the physical reinspection cycle for 2026. The district states that approximately one-third of the county is physically inspected during each cycle.

A reinspection is a field-review cycle

Appraisal staff may review property characteristics, improvement data, condition, use or other information relevant to the appraisal record.

It does not mean other areas are frozen

The district explains that the entire county is reappraised each year after reviewing market data, even when a neighborhood is not physically driven that year.

Verify your record before protesting

Check building size, quality, condition, land classification, exemptions and taxing entities before focusing only on the final value.

A value increase is not automatically proof of an error. Successful correction or protest evidence usually identifies a measurable problem: incorrect property characteristics, damage or condition not considered, unsuitable comparable properties, unequal appraisal, missing exemptions or an ownership/account error.

Tax-payment route

How to Pay Mitchell County Property Taxes Online

Mitchell CAD determines appraisal values but does not collect the resulting tax. Mitchell County’s Tax Assessor-Collector handles property-tax billing and payment at 438 East Second Street, Colorado City.

Open the official Mitchell County tax search. Go to esearch.mitchellcounty.tax, or locate the property in the CAD system and select the green Pay Taxes option.

Search for the tax account. Use the property ID when available. Otherwise search by owner name or address and compare the returned account details carefully.

Confirm the owner, property and tax years. A single owner may have multiple accounts. Check whether the screen includes current, prior or delinquent years before selecting an amount.

Review the balance and payment date. Confirm the base tax, penalty, interest, attorney or collection amounts shown by the official system.

Review the processor’s payment charge. Card or electronic-payment convenience fees may be displayed before authorization. Do not assume the fee is part of the property tax itself.

Save the final confirmation. Download or print the receipt, record the confirmation number and confirm the property ID and tax year before closing the payment page.

Forms and eligibility

Mitchell County Homestead, Veteran and Agricultural Forms

Mitchell CAD links taxpayers to the official Texas Comptroller forms. Download a fresh copy rather than reusing an old saved form because requirements and form revisions can change.

Purpose	Official form	Prepare before filing
Residence homestead	Form 50-114	Property ID, ownership details, occupancy date and the identification documentation requested in the form.
Disabled-veteran exemption	Form 50-135	VA or military documentation establishing the qualifying disability rating or surviving-spouse eligibility.
1-d-1 open-space agricultural appraisal	Form 50-129	Land-use history, acreage, agricultural activity, operator or lease details and supporting evidence.
Business personal-property rendition	Form 50-144	Inventory, furniture, machinery, equipment and other taxable business property owned or managed on January 1.
Property-owner protest	Form 50-132	Property ID, protested issue, owner’s requested value when applicable and supporting evidence.
Electronic communication	Taxpayer portal	Email access, property details and the information requested to connect the account to the taxpayer.

Homestead filing check

You own an interest in the property.
The property is your principal residence.
The application name matches the ownership record or explains the difference.
You attach the documentation requested by Form 50-114.
You retain a complete copy and delivery proof.

Agricultural appraisal check

Describe the actual qualifying use, not only the property’s rural location.
Document the intensity and history of agricultural activity.
Identify leases, operators, livestock, crops or management practices where applicable.
Report ownership or use changes to the appraisal district.
Understand that a change of use may create rollback-tax consequences.

An exemption shown on one account does not automatically transfer to another property. Buying, selling, moving, changing ownership, inheriting a property or converting its use can require a new application or supporting documentation.

Appraisal review

How to Protest a Mitchell County Appraised Value

The usual Texas protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the appraisal district mails the Notice of Appraised Value, whichever is later. The date printed on your notice and the rules applicable to your issue control, so do not rely on a general calendar alone.

Read every value, exemption and deadline on the notice. Compare the current market value, appraised value, property description and exemptions with the prior year and your CAD record.

Choose the issue you are actually protesting. Common grounds include excessive appraisal, unequal appraisal, incorrect property description, ownership, denied exemption or denial of special appraisal.

File before the deadline. Use the Mitchell CAD online protest portal when available, or submit Form 50-132.

Save proof of filing. Keep the portal confirmation, timestamped email, stamped copy or delivery tracking. A completed form sitting on your computer is not proof that it was filed.

Request and review the district’s evidence. Examine the comparable sales, property characteristics, photographs, maps and valuation information used for your account.

Organize evidence around a requested result. State the specific value, correction or exemption decision you are requesting and connect each document to that request.

Attend the informal review and ARB hearing as scheduled. An informal discussion may resolve the issue, but do not withdraw the formal protest until you understand and accept the proposed resolution.

Useful value evidence

Recent arm’s-length sales near the January 1 appraisal date.
Comparable properties with similar location, size, age and quality.
Photographs showing condition problems.
Dated contractor estimates or inspection reports.
Evidence of functional or external obsolescence.
Comparable CAD records supporting unequal appraisal.

Weak protest evidence

A mortgage balance, because debt does not establish market value.
A tax increase by itself, because CAD does not adopt tax rates.
An undated online estimate with no property comparison.
Repairs completed after the January 1 appraisal date without relevant earlier condition evidence.
Comparable properties from a different market or property class.

Mitchell CAD’s currently posted local ARB procedures should be reviewed before the hearing. The posted procedures describe hearing order, evidence exchange, postponement and telephone-hearing requirements. Confirm current instructions on your hearing notice or by calling (325) 728-5028.

Annual planning calendar

Property-Tax Dates Mitchell County Owners Should Watch

January 1 — appraisal date Property condition, ownership, use and taxable business property are generally evaluated as of January 1 for the appraisal year.

April 15 — general business rendition deadline Most business-personal-property renditions are due April 15. A written extension request may extend the deadline to May 15, subject to applicable law and additional good-cause provisions.

April 30 — common exemption and special-appraisal deadline Residence homestead and open-space agricultural applications are generally due by April 30, although some exemptions and late applications have special statutory rules.

May 15 or 30 days after notice is mailed — usual protest deadline Use whichever date is later for most protests. Follow the specific deadline printed on the official notice.

August and September — Truth-in-Taxation activity Local taxing entities propose and adopt rates. Use the official local database to review proposed tax amounts, hearing information and adopted rates.

Tax-bill season — verify exemptions and payment status Compare the tax bill with the final CAD record. Direct balance, delinquency, installment and receipt questions to the Tax Assessor-Collector.

Calendar dates can shift when a deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday. Special deadlines also apply to certain regulated property, late notices, exemption denials, omitted property and correction motions. Use the date on the official document and contact Mitchell CAD when uncertain.

Latest posted adopted table

Mitchell County Tax Rates and Exemptions: How to Read Them

At the time this guide was verified, Mitchell CAD’s adopted-rate page displayed 2025 rates. Do not label those figures as final 2026 rates. The 2026 rate-adoption process occurs through local taxing entities and the Truth-in-Taxation system.

Mitchell County 0.336451 2025 adopted rate per $100 of taxable value.

Lateral Road 0.1200000 2025 adopted rate; exemptions may differ from the county entity.

Colorado City 0.6958370 Applies only to property inside the applicable city jurisdiction.

City of Loraine 0.5682200 2025 adopted city rate.

City of Westbrook 0.2349012 2025 adopted city rate.

Mitchell County Hospital 0.3017839 2025 special-district rate.

School district	2025 adopted rate	Posted regular residence-homestead exemption	Posted age-65 / disability amount
Colorado ISD	1.1255000	$140,000	$60,000
Loraine ISD	1.1022000	$140,000	$60,000
Westbrook ISD	0.6669000	$140,000	$60,000
Forsan ISD	0.8668500	$140,000	$60,000
Ira ISD	1.1569000	$140,000	$60,000
Roscoe ISD	0.8329900	$140,000	$60,000

Do not multiply the market value by one rate and call it the final bill. Calculate each applicable entity separately using that entity’s taxable value and rate. A homestead, age-65, disability, veteran or local-option exemption may produce different taxable values for different entities.

Basic entity calculation

Estimated entity tax = taxable value ÷ 100 × adopted tax rate.

Use the taxable value shown for that entity—not automatically the market value—and confirm final amounts through the official tax system.

Ownership and deed checks

What Buyers, Sellers and New Owners Should Verify

Before buying

Match the CAD parcel to the deed description.
Review land and improvement details.
Check current exemptions without assuming they transfer.
Review current and prior tax balances.
Investigate mineral, access, survey and title issues separately.

After closing

Confirm the deed was recorded with the County Clerk.
Allow processing time for CAD ownership updates.
Update the mailing address when necessary.
File a new homestead application when eligible.
Do not ignore notices still addressed to the previous owner.

Before selling

Resolve obvious CAD record errors early.
Keep the latest tax receipt and account details.
Identify multiple parcel or mineral accounts.
Disclose known tax, exemption or rollback issues appropriately.
Use title professionals for ownership and lien questions.

The CAD owner name is not conclusive proof of title. Ownership updates can lag after recording, and CAD records may simplify names or legal descriptions. Use the County Clerk’s recorded instrument and appropriate title evidence for a legal ownership determination.

Troubleshooting

Fix Common Mitchell CAD Search and Account Problems

Problem	Likely reason	What to do next
No result by owner name	The record uses a different spelling, prior owner, trust, estate or business name.	Search only the last name, remove punctuation, try the address, or search the recorded deed through the County Clerk.
No result by street address	The parcel may use an abbreviated, rural, highway or nonstandard situs address.	Use the street number and base street name, then try owner, property ID or advanced search.
New owner is not displayed	The deed may be recently recorded or still awaiting processing.	Verify recording with the County Clerk, then contact CAD with the instrument information if the update remains pending.
Homestead code is missing	No application, pending review, documentation request, denial or account mismatch.	Contact CAD with the property ID and application date. Do not submit repeated applications without checking status.
Online protest will not open	Browser settings, expired access, portal availability or an account that is not eligible for that filing route.	Try a current browser, save a screenshot, and contact CAD before the deadline. Use an accepted alternate filing method when necessary.
Tax payment is not posted	Processor delay, wrong account, rejected payment or pending settlement.	Keep the confirmation and contact the Tax Assessor-Collector, not the appraisal district.
Legal description or acreage appears wrong	Abbreviation, appraisal mapping issue, split parcel, deed discrepancy or survey issue.	Compare the CAD record, deed, plat and survey. Contact CAD for appraisal-record corrections and qualified professionals for boundary or title questions.
One property has several accounts	Separate real, mineral, personal-property, improvement or split-parcel accounts may exist.	Compare every property ID and legal description before paying, protesting or requesting a correction.
