Limestone CAD Property Search, Exemptions, Protest and Tax Office Help
This Limestone County guide helps property owners use the official CAD website, review appraisal records, understand exemptions, prepare a protest, and know when to contact the county tax office for payment or collection questions.

Quick Answer for Limestone County Property Owners
Limestone County Appraisal District maintains property appraisal records, reviews property values, handles exemption questions, and supports the local appraisal process for homes, farms, businesses, and land across Limestone County.
The county tax office is separate. Use the tax office for property tax payments, online payment questions, refunds, tax roll access, delinquent tax questions, and official tax sale information.
Official Limestone CAD and Tax Office Resources
Use official resources first. This reduces the risk of outdated forms, copied property records, wrong payment pages, old phone numbers, and unsafe tax-payment links.

|---|---|---|
| CAD website | Limestone CAD official website | Best starting point for appraisal records, property search, CAD contact details, and property value questions. |
| Tax office website | Limestone Tax Assessor-Collector | Use for property tax search, tax roll information, delinquent roll information, payment notices, and tax office resources. |
| County tax office page | Limestone County Tax Assessor-Collector | Confirms tax office phone, payment link, office hours, emails, tax sale notes, and county office details. |

How to Search Limestone County Property Records
The official CAD search is the best starting point when you need owner information, property value, exemption status, land details, improvement details, or account information before filing a protest or exemption.
Open the official CAD website
Go to the official Limestone CAD website and use the property search option available from the site.
Start with simple details
Try owner name, property address, or account number. If the full address does not work, use fewer words, such as the street name only.
Review the full property record
Check owner name, mailing address, situs address, land details, building details, market value, appraised value, exemptions, tax year, and taxing units.
Compare before you call
If the value looks wrong, compare similar properties by size, age, location, condition, land use, and improvements before contacting CAD.
Save proof
Save a screenshot or PDF before filing an exemption, preparing a protest, calling the office, or comparing the CAD record with your tax office statement.
Local search tip: Limestone County records may involve Groesbeck, Mexia, Coolidge, Kosse, Thornton, Tehuacana, Wortham-area school districts, rural acreage, farm land, lake-area property, and business personal property. If a normal address search fails, try owner name, account number, legal description, or fewer address words.
Limestone CAD, Tax Office or County Clerk?
Property owners often search one phrase but need different offices. Use this split before calling.
| Your Question | Best Place to Start | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| What is my appraised value? | Limestone CAD | The appraisal district handles property value, appraisal records, exemptions, and protest-related questions. |
| How do I search owner, address, or account details? | Limestone CAD property search | The CAD record is the appraisal source for owner, value, property details, and exemption review. |
| Where do I pay property taxes or get a receipt? | Limestone County Tax Assessor-Collector | The tax office handles property tax payments, receipts, balances, refunds, and collection questions. |
| Where do I ask about VIT, mobile home liens, or mortgage requests? | Limestone County Tax Office | The county tax office lists specific contacts for VIT, mobile home liens, and mortgage requests. |
| Where do I get deeds, liens, plats, or recorded documents? | County Clerk | Recorded legal documents are not the same as CAD appraisal records. |
Homestead, Over-65, Disabled Veteran, Ag and Rendition Help
Use official CAD or Texas Comptroller forms when applying for exemptions or special valuation. Do not rely on paid letters that claim you must pay to file a homestead exemption.
| Situation | Likely Starting Point | What to Prepare |
|---|---|---|
| You live in the home as your main residence | Residence homestead exemption | Owner name, property address, account number, ID/address match, and correct tax year. |
| You are over 65, disabled, a disabled veteran, or surviving spouse | Matching exemption form | Proof documents, required ID, ownership details, and award/rating proof if applicable. |
| You own farm, ranch, pasture, hay, timber, wildlife, or open-space land | Ag/open-space or special valuation review | Land-use history, production records, leases, maps, photos, grazing or crop records, and supporting evidence. |
| You own business personal property | Business personal property rendition | Asset list, business address, equipment details, inventory information, cost records, and ownership details. |
New owner tip: If you recently bought property in Limestone County, check whether CAD shows your correct owner name and mailing address. Missed mail can cause missed exemption notices, appraisal notices, and protest deadlines.
How to Prepare a Limestone County Appraisal Protest
A useful protest explains the exact issue. Instead of only saying “my taxes are too high,” show whether the problem is market value, unequal appraisal, wrong property details, missing exemption, land classification, business personal property, or condition problems.
Read the notice first
Check your account number, market value, appraised value, exemption status, notice date, and protest deadline printed on the Notice of Appraised Value.
Compare the CAD record
Review owner name, mailing address, property address, legal description, land size, building details, condition, exemption status, and prior-year value.
Collect useful evidence
Evidence may include comparable sales, photos, repair estimates, inspection reports, closing documents, surveys, lease records, or proof of incorrect property details.
File before the deadline
Use official protest resources and keep proof of filing. If your deadline is close, file first and continue organizing evidence after submission.
Deadline warning: Always follow the deadline printed on your official appraisal notice or confirmed by Limestone CAD. Do not rely only on general internet deadline information.

Tax Sale and Delinquent Tax Information
Limestone County’s tax office page includes delinquent tax attorney information and tax sale links. Treat tax sale research carefully because a CAD record is not a title report, lien search, or legal due-diligence review.
Buyer caution: Tax sale research can involve legal risk. Verify sale status, liens, title issues, redemption rights, and sale procedure through official county or legal resources before bidding.
Common Limestone CAD Search Problems and Fixes
| Problem | Likely Reason | Try This |
|---|---|---|
| Owner name is not found | The record may use a different name format, trust name, company name, estate name, or spouse name. | Try last name only, business keyword, account number, property address, or shorter search text. |
| Address search fails | Rural property, farm land, lake-area property, or county-road property may not use a normal postal-style address. | Use account number, owner name, legal description, or fewer address words. |
| Tax bill question is unclear | CAD value and tax-office collection are separate parts of the property tax process. | Use Limestone CAD for value and exemption questions; use the tax office for payment and receipt questions. |
| Exemption is missing | The application may be incomplete, not filed, not processed, or not applied to that tax year. | Check official forms, save filing proof, and contact Limestone CAD with account details ready. |
| Tax payment has not posted | Electronic payments may take time to process. | Keep your confirmation number and wait for processing before assuming the payment failed. |
