This official-interface image appeared in the original article and has been retained. The live portal may change, but the main choices remain useful: Owner, Address, ID, ARB Search and Advanced Search.
By Owner

Start with only part of the name and check trusts, estates, companies and prior owners.

By ID

Use the Property ID or another exact account identifier for the cleanest result.

Advanced Search

Use abstract, subdivision, mobile-home park, neighborhood, DBA, tax year or hearing information.

When Gray CAD advanced fields are most useful
Field Best use Common mistake
Abstract Rural acreage and tracts without a dependable street address. Entering a complete deed description instead of one abstract clue.
Subdivision Pampa additions, platted lots and rural residential developments. Assuming the postal address matches the appraisal subdivision name.
MobileHomePark Manufactured homes sharing a park or common address. Searching only the landowner instead of the home owner.
Neighborhood Reviewing appraisal groupings and potential comparison accounts. Assuming all properties in one neighborhood are physically comparable.
Doing Business As Finding a business-personal-property account when the legal entity differs. Searching only the building owner.
Hearing Date or Board Members Locating or reviewing an ARB-related account. Using hearing fields for an ordinary property search.
Property-account decoder

Understand what the Gray CAD record can and cannot prove

Use each field as a route to the next official verification
Field What it identifies What it does not prove Next action
Property ID The appraisal account in Gray CAD. That every county or tax system uses the same account number. Save it for forms, protests and office contact.
Geographic ID A geographic or parcel-related reference. A surveyed boundary or legal acreage. Compare the map, deed and survey.
Owner shown The owner carried for appraisal and notice purposes. Clear title, probate status or every ownership interest. Search County Clerk records when title matters.
Property address The physical location used in the appraisal system. Mailing address, legal access or exact boundary. Compare the map and legal description.
Legal description An abbreviated lot, block, abstract, tract or subdivision reference. The complete recorded deed description. Review the deed, plat and survey.
Acreage Acreage carried for appraisal purposes. Surveyed acreage or ownership of adjoining land. Compare recorded and survey evidence.
Market value Gray CAD’s opinion of market value as of January 1. A guaranteed sale price or final tax amount. Review property facts, condition and sales evidence.
Appraised value Value after an applicable cap, limitation or special appraisal. That every exemption is correctly applied. Review exemptions and taxable values by unit.
Tax information Tax-related data displayed with the appraisal account. The live amount due or payment posting. Verify through the Tax Office payment system.
2026 value and certification status

Do not label every 2026 search value as certified

Gray CAD’s Reports page currently lists 2025 as the latest posted certified values and certified appraisal roll. The 2026 property search can still be used for current appraisal research, but the specific account status and disclaimer should control how the value is described.
Current-year search value

Useful for reviewing a notice, exemption, correction or protest, but it can be subject to change.

Certified roll

A countywide roll approved for tax-rate and billing processes, subject to lawful later corrections or supplements.

Supplemental or corrected value

A later account change that can occur after the original roll certification.

Best wording for a 2026 property card: “The Gray CAD search currently displays this 2026 value; verify whether the individual account and countywide roll have been certified before using it for a legal or financial decision.”
Open Gray CAD reports and certified rolls Review adopted tax rates
Taxpayer portal and online appeal

Use the new Gray CAD portal, but prepare an outage fallback

The previous eProtest address now directs owners to the Gray CAD Taxpayer Portal. The portal can provide property details, electronic communication, important documents and application management from one account.
Find the public property account first Save the Property ID, Geographic ID, owner name, address and tax year.
Open the official taxpayer portal Open Gray CAD Taxpayer Portal
Create an account with a monitored email address Follow the sign-up and identity-verification instructions shown by the portal.
Allow for CAD approval A new registration can show “Approval Pending” until Gray CAD approves it.
Connect the correct property Match the Property ID and owner information from the public account or notice.
Choose electronic communication deliberately An electronic-delivery election remains in effect until rescinded in writing.
Save confirmations outside the portal Keep copies of uploaded documents, confirmation pages, emails and notices.
Use a deadline fallback during an outage Contact Gray CAD immediately and use another accepted filing method. Preserve screenshots showing the outage and the time of the attempted filing.
Portal availability can change without notice. A technical problem does not automatically extend a protest or application deadline.
Interactive map and parcel context

Use the Gray CAD map to locate ranch, city and energy property

Open the official interactive map Open Gray CAD Interactive Map
Locate the appraisal account first Save the Property ID, Geographic ID, owner, abstract, legal description and acreage.
Check road and parcel context The map is especially useful for rural roads, ranches, county-line property, wind facilities, pipelines and tracts without standard addresses.
Open nearby accounts carefully Compare land class, acreage, improvements, neighborhood, property type and taxing jurisdictions.
Check for separate related accounts Minerals, business equipment, utilities, turbines, pipelines and improvements can use separate Property IDs.
Verify legal questions outside the map Use the recorded deed, plats, easements, title records and a professional survey.
The appraisal map is not a legal boundary, mineral-title or access determination. Do not place a fence, turbine, pipeline, driveway or structure from a CAD line alone.
Search troubleshooting

What to do when Gray CAD shows no matching property

Change one search detail at a time
Problem Likely reason Practical fix
Owner is not found The account may use a spouse, trust, estate, business, initials or previous owner. Search only the surname or one distinctive company word.
Address search fails The situs address may use a shortened road, highway, rural route or legal description. Search only the main street name or use the map.
Rural land is missing The tract may be indexed by abstract, owner or Geographic ID. Use Advanced Search and the abstract field.
Manufactured home is missing The home may be separate from the land or listed under another owner. Use MobileHomePark, owner, address and property-type fields.
Business account is missing The assets may use a DBA or separate personal-property account. Search the legal entity, DBA, owner and physical location.
Mineral or utility account is missing The account may not use the surface owner or street address. Search the company, operator, agent, Property ID or prior statement.
Recently purchased property shows seller The deed may not yet be processed into the appraisal ownership record. Search the seller and verify the deed through the County Clerk.
Tax amount differs from CAD The appraisal system is not the live tax-collection ledger. Use the Gray County Tax Office payment portal and match the year.

Gray County property situations

Local search tips for Pampa, Lefors, McLean and county-line property

Pampa home or business

Check Gray County, Pampa ISD, City of Pampa, Clarendon College and groundwater-district entries.

Lefors property

Confirm Lefors ISD, City of Lefors and the exact county and special-district jurisdictions.

McLean property

Verify McLean ISD, City of McLean and whether the property is near a county or school boundary.

Grandview-Hopkins property

Use the map and school-district account rather than assuming a Pampa mailing address controls jurisdiction.

Groom or White Deer district property

Confirm whether the parcel lies in Gray County and identify the correct school-tax collector.

Miami, Wheeler or Fort Elliott district

County-line school districts can require separate collection research outside the Gray County Tax Office.

Ranch or farm tract

Search by owner, abstract and Geographic ID and review productivity value separately from market value.

Wind, solar or pipeline project

Search the landowner, project entity, utility account, business assets and any separate improvement accounts.

Oil or gas interest

Use the mineral owner, company, operator or account information rather than surface address alone.

Value and tax explanation

Do not confuse market value, appraised value and taxable value

STEP 1 Market value

Gray CAD’s opinion of the property’s market value as of January 1.

STEP 2 Appraised value

The value after an applicable homestead cap, circuit-breaker limit or special appraisal.

STEP 3 Taxable value

The value remaining after exemptions for each taxing unit.

2026 statewide homestead amounts: a qualifying residence homestead receives a $140,000 school-district exemption. A qualifying owner who is age 65 or older or disabled receives an additional $60,000 school-district exemption.
2026 circuit-breaker limit: qualifying non-homestead real property valued at $5,320,000 or less can receive the temporary 20% appraisal limitation, subject to ownership, property-type and statutory exclusions. The current program expires after 2026 unless changed by law.
Market value is not the final property-tax bill. The amount due depends on taxable value, adopted rates, exemptions, appraisal limitations, collection adjustments, penalties, interest and payment history.

Office routing

Use Gray CAD, the Tax Office or County Clerk correctly

Contact the office that controls the record
Your question Correct office What to prepare
What is my appraised value? Gray CAD Property ID, year and disputed value component.
Why is my exemption missing? Gray CAD Application, identification, qualification date and filing proof.
Does my land qualify for agricultural appraisal? Gray CAD Use history, acreage, leases, production records and maps.
How much participating tax is due? Gray County Tax Assessor-Collector Owner, tax account, property and tax year.
Who collects an out-of-county school tax? The school district or collector shown on the tax statement Property ID, district name and tax year.
Did my payment post? The collecting tax office Confirmation, amount, method, account and year.
Who legally owns the property? Gray County Clerk or title professional Grantor, grantee, date range and legal description.
Who owns minerals or an easement? County Clerk records and qualified title professional Mineral deeds, reservations, easements, leases and assignments.
Not every active taxing unit is collected by Gray County. The Comptroller lists Gray County as the collector for the county, Pampa, Lefors, McLean, Pampa ISD, Lefors ISD, McLean ISD, Grandview-Hopkins ISD, the groundwater district and Clarendon College. Check the statement or taxing unit for Groom, White Deer, Miami, Wheeler or Fort Elliott school taxes.
Record corrections

Correct the official system that contains the error

Incorrect appraisal owner

Verify the deed or probate record with the County Clerk, then provide Gray CAD the requested ownership evidence.

Incorrect mailing address

Contact Gray CAD because appraisal notices and exemption correspondence depend on its mailing record.

Incorrect situs address

Determine whether the issue belongs to CAD, county addressing, a city or the postal service.

Incorrect acreage or legal description

Prepare the deed, plat, survey, abstract, Property ID and Geographic ID.

Incorrect building information

Use measurements, photographs, permits, repair estimates, plans or demolition evidence.

Incorrect agricultural classification

Prepare use history, leases, livestock or crop records, maps and dated photographs.

Incorrect energy or mineral account

Prepare owner, operator, project, lease, equipment, interest and account information.

Incorrect payment posting

Contact the collecting Tax Office with the payment confirmation, amount, account and year.

A correction request does not automatically protect a protest deadline. File a timely protest when the error affects value, exemption, classification or another protestable appraisal determination.
Official forms and exemptions

Use Gray CAD’s form library and preserve the submission record

Residence homestead

For a qualifying principal residence. Match the deed, identification and residence address.

Age 65 or older or disabled

Review the additional school exemption, tax ceiling, instalment options and possible deferral rights.

Disabled veteran

Use the form matching the VA rating, total disability or surviving-spouse situation.

Agriculture, timber and wildlife

Use the applicable 1-D-1, timber or wildlife form and prepare land-use evidence.

Solar or wind-powered device

Use the official exemption application and document the qualifying device and property use.

Business and other exemptions

The library includes Freeport, goods-in-transit, vehicle, pollution-control, charitable and disaster forms.

What to prepare before filing

Property ID and exact owner name
Property and mailing addresses
Driver licence or permitted identification
Ownership and qualification date
Deed, heirship or probate documents
Age, disability or VA evidence
Completed application copy
Mail, email or delivery confirmation
Submission address: Gray County Appraisal District, P.O. Box 836, Pampa, Texas 79066-0836. The district also lists info@graycad.org for general contact and certain submissions.
Gray CAD states that homestead applications must include the applicant’s driver licence or other information required by the Texas Property Tax Code. An affidavit can also be required in some situations.
Open Gray CAD forms Check current Texas forms
Agriculture, ranching and wildlife

Prepare proof of qualifying use rather than relying on acreage alone

Agricultural or wildlife appraisal depends on qualifying use, intensity and history. A rural address, large tract or occasional livestock does not automatically establish eligibility.

Use history

Document the type of agricultural activity, acreage and years of qualifying use.

Production evidence

Keep livestock, grazing, crop, hay, feed, sales and expense records.

Leases and maps

Prepare written leases, land-use maps, legal descriptions and excluded acreage.

Wildlife management

Prepare the wildlife-management plan, annual report and evidence of qualifying practices.

Market and productivity values

Review both values because special appraisal changes taxable treatment rather than removing market value.

Change of use

Ask how development, energy construction, subdivision or discontinued agriculture could create additional tax.

Energy development can affect agricultural use. Identify turbine pads, solar arrays, substations, roads, pipelines and other acreage removed from qualifying production.
Minerals, pipelines, wind and solar

Search the land, equipment and ownership interests as separate accounts

Gray CAD’s latest public report states that Pritchard & Abbott appraises minerals, pipelines and compressors, while Western Valuation appraises agricultural property. Other property is appraised by Gray CAD staff.
Oil or gas interest

Search the mineral owner, estate, company, operator or Property ID rather than the surface address alone.

Pipeline or compressor

Confirm the company, asset type, location, account year and appraisal contractor.

Wind-energy project

Search the landowner, project company, turbine or improvement account, utility account and business assets.

Solar-energy project

Separate qualifying owner-installed devices from a utility-scale commercial generation facility.

Land lease

Review whether the landowner, lessee or project entity owns each improvement or piece of equipment.

Title and easement documents

Use County Clerk records for mineral reservations, pipeline easements, leases and recorded agreements.

The solar or wind-powered energy-device exemption does not automatically exempt a commercial wind or solar farm. Qualification depends on ownership, use, statutory requirements and the specific property included in the application.

The normal 2026 rendition deadline was April 15. A timely written request generally extended the deadline to May 15, with limited additional time for good cause.
Wildfire and disaster-damage relief

Verify the declaration date before using Gray CAD’s wildfire form

Gray CAD continues to publish temporary-disaster-exemption information connected with the February 26-27 wildfires. The form can apply to qualifying property in a governor-declared disaster area when the property sustained at least 15% damage.

Minimum damage

The temporary exemption generally requires at least 15% physical damage to qualifying property.

General deadline

The application and supporting evidence are normally due by the 105th day after the governor’s disaster declaration.

Where to send it

Gray CAD lists P.O. Box 836, Pampa, Texas 79066 and info@graycad.org.

Do not assume the wildfire notice creates a current 2026 filing period. Ask Gray CAD for the applicable declaration date, affected property, deadline and available late or correction options before filing.

Complete these checks before relying on one Gray County record

Match every appraisal account

Search land, improvements, manufactured homes, business assets, utilities and mineral records.

Check every tax collector

Confirm Gray County and any school district that uses a separate collector.

Review prior-year taxes

Check current and delinquent balances, payment posting, penalties and receipts.

Search recorded documents

Review deeds, liens, releases, easements, mineral reservations and probate records.

Recalculate exemptions

Seller homestead exemptions, tax ceilings and appraisal limitations may not continue.

Review agricultural status

Determine whether qualifying use will continue and whether development creates additional tax.

Check energy leases

Identify turbine, solar, pipeline, access and substation rights affecting the property.

Check mineral ownership

A surface transfer does not automatically include all minerals or royalties.

Verify boundaries and access

Use recorded easements, title records and a professional survey rather than the CAD map.

The seller’s current bill may not predict the buyer’s future bill. Ownership changes can affect exemptions, appraisal limitations, agricultural qualification and separately collected taxes.

How this Gray County guide was rebuilt

Mahesh Kumar, editor of AppraisalDistrict.org

Independent research with official task paths

This version preserves the Gray CAD screenshot and editor image while replacing the outdated eProtest workflow, explaining the current portal warning, adding advanced search fields, separating county-collected and separately collected taxes, and expanding agricultural, energy, disaster, business, Clerk-record and buyer guidance.

The review used Gray County Appraisal District, the Gray County Tax Assessor-Collector, Gray County Clerk, the official payment and public-record systems, and current Texas Comptroller property-tax guidance.

AppraisalDistrict.org is an independent informational website and is not operated by Gray CAD, Gray County, any taxing unit or an appraisal contractor.

The Gray County Tax Assessor-Collector collects for Gray County and participating local units. Some school districts crossing into the county may use another collector, so verify the tax statement.

6. How do I pay Gray County property taxes online?

Use Gray Property Tax Payments, verify the account and year, review the processing fee and save the confirmation.

7. What was the normal 2026 protest deadline?

The normal deadline was May 15, 2026, or the 30th day after notice delivery, whichever was later. A newer corrected, supplemental or denial notice can carry another deadline.

8. Where did the old Gray CAD eProtest portal move?

The old eProtest page now directs users to portal.graycad.org. Because Gray CAD reports possible technical difficulties, preserve deadlines with another accepted filing method when necessary.

9. Where can I search Gray County deeds and liens?

Use the Gray County Clerk Public Records Search, accept the disclaimer and search all reasonable name variations.

10. Is the Gray CAD interactive map a legal survey?

No. Gray CAD states that acreage and legal descriptions should be independently verified before legal use. Use recorded documents and a professional survey.

Accuracy, ownership and official-use notice

AppraisalDistrict.org is an independent informational resource. It is not Gray County Appraisal District, the Gray County Appraisal Review Board, Gray County, the Tax Assessor-Collector, the County Clerk, an appraisal contractor or the Texas Comptroller.

Owners, values, roll-certification status, exemptions, protest deadlines, portal availability, tax balances, processing fees, office hours, forms and procedures can change. Verify the live official record before filing, paying, travelling, buying, selling or making a legal, tax or financial decision.

Appraisal maps, acreage, owner entries, legal descriptions, mineral accounts, utility accounts and energy-project information are research tools and should not replace a deed, plat, title examination, mineral-title review or professional survey.

Official-source review completed July 2026. Primary sources reviewed: Gray County Appraisal District, Gray County Tax Assessor-Collector, Gray County Clerk and current Texas Comptroller property-tax guidance.
