Martin County Appraisal District 2026 CAD Guide

Martin County, Texas · Real estate, mineral, personal property, tax collection and protest help

Trace a Martin County Account From Parcel or Mineral Search to Payment and Protest

Martin CAD’s search is deeper than a normal homeowner lookup. It covers real estate, business personal property, oil and gas interests, mineral leases, pipelines, utilities, agricultural land, mobile homes, tax-due accounts and protest status.

This guide shows which search tab to use, how to interpret the result, how the 2026 payment change affects taxpayers, which entities Martin CAD collects for, and when to contact the appraisal district, Tax Assessor-Collector or County and District Clerk.

Result-field decoder

Understand what the Martin CAD search result is showing

Use each field to confirm the account and choose the next official record
Field What it identifies What it does not prove Best next action
Property ID or Parcel ID The appraisal account or parcel in the Martin CAD system. That every tax, deed or operator database uses the same identifier. Save it for CAD calls, payments and protest documents.
Geo ID A geographic or appraisal-mapping reference for the property. Surveyed boundaries or complete mineral title. Compare it with the map, legal description and recorded instruments.
Owner ID An owner record used within the appraisal database. That every interest under that owner ID is part of the same property. Use it to find additional real, personal or mineral accounts.
Owner name The owner or payee name carried for appraisal and collection administration. Complete legal title, royalty decimal, lien status or heirship. Use County Clerk records or a landman for title questions.
Property type Whether the account is real estate, mineral or personal property. That related property is contained in the same account. Search the other property types when the owner has multiple interests.
Legal description The survey, abstract, tract, lot, block, subdivision or other legal reference shown. Complete deed language, surface ownership or mineral ownership. Compare it with recorded deeds, leases, assignments and plats.
Lease number or name A mineral or operating lease reference used in the appraisal account. Current ownership decimal, production or operator payment status. Match it with division orders, royalty statements and recorded instruments.
Market value The appraisal district’s market-value determination for the selected year. A guaranteed sale price, royalty payment or final tax amount. Review the account type and appraisal evidence before protesting.
Base tax due Tax due information displayed for the selected account and year. The final payoff after penalties, credits or recent payments. Confirm the current balance and payment instructions with Martin CAD.
Protest status Whether the system shows a new, pending or closed protest status. That every filing, hearing or appeal step is complete. Check the online dashboard and written hearing or ARB documents.
Mineral and oil-field search

Search Martin County mineral interests without relying on a street address

Martin CAD states that mineral, utility and industrial accounts are appraised for the district by Pritchard & Abbott. Real estate and ordinary personal-property accounts are appraised locally by Martin CAD.
Select Mineral as the property type This prevents real-estate and personal-property records from overwhelming a mineral search.
Search the property ID or Geo ID These identifiers are usually more precise than an owner name when a person has several royalty interests.
Try the lease number and lease name Lease information can locate an account that has no useful physical address.
Use the legal description Search the abstract, survey, tract, block or legal wording shown on royalty statements, deeds or division orders.
Search owner and agent variations Try the individual, estate, trust, company, operator or property-tax agent shown on related records.
Compare the appraisal account with outside records Match the lease, operator, legal description, owner name, decimal interest and production information.
Save each separate account One owner may have several mineral accounts, leases or producing interests in Martin County.
Royalty owner

Match the owner, lease name, legal description, property ID and tax year with the royalty statement.

Inherited minerals

Search the deceased owner, estate, heirs, trust and recorded probate or deed documents.

Operator or working interest

Check the account owner, agent, lease, equipment and related business-personal-property records.

A mineral appraisal record is not a mineral-title opinion. Use recorded deeds, leases, assignments, probate documents, division orders and qualified land or legal professionals when ownership or royalty decimal must be established.
Business and personal property

Find Martin County business personal-property and special-inventory accounts

Select Personal Prop A business account may not appear when the search remains limited to Real Estate.
Search the legal business name and DBA Try the corporation, LLC, partnership, owner name and assumed business name.
Search the property ID or owner ID Use identifiers from a rendition, appraisal notice or prior tax statement when available.
Confirm the business situs Check where the taxable assets were located or used on January 1.
Review the category code Category codes can help distinguish commercial, industrial, vehicle, inventory, utility or special-inventory accounts.
Compare the account with the rendition Check asset descriptions, original cost, acquisition year, inventory and disposed property.
Commercial real estate and business assets can be separate accounts. Searching the building does not necessarily reveal machinery, equipment, vehicles, inventory or other taxable personal property.
Search troubleshooting

Fix common Martin CAD search problems

Try a different identifier or property type before assuming the record is missing
Problem Likely reason Practical fix
Owner name returns no result The account may use initials, a spouse, trust, estate, company, operator or agent. Search the last name only, owner ID, property ID or Advanced Search.
Address search fails Rural, mineral, utility or personal-property accounts may have no normal address. Use Geo ID, legal description, abstract, lease number or property-type filter.
Mineral interest is missing The account may use a lease name, operator, estate, agent or different owner format. Select Mineral and search the lease, legal description, owner ID and agent.
Business account is missing The search is limited to Real Estate or uses the wrong business name. Select Personal Prop and try the legal entity, DBA, owner or property ID.
Too many results The name, street or lease search is too broad. Add the property type, tax year, property ID, Geo ID, city or legal description.
Tax due appears wrong The wrong year is selected or a recent payment has not posted. Select the correct year, save the screen and call Martin CAD with payment proof.
New deed still shows former owner The deed may still be processing or may not provide enough information for the account change. Confirm recording with the County and District Clerk and save the instrument number.
Online protest is unavailable The account may lack an eligible PIN, a different protest route may have been started or the deadline may have passed. Call Martin CAD at 432-756-2823 immediately.
Use this prepared call script
I am researching Martin CAD property ID [number], Geo ID [number] or lease [name/number] for tax year [year]. The account currently shows [owner, value or tax due]. I need help with [exact missing or incorrect field]. Please tell me which search field, document or department controls this issue.
Value and tax explanation

Separate appraisal value, taxable value and current tax due

STEP 1 Market value

The appraisal district’s market-value determination for the selected property and appraisal year.

STEP 2 Taxable value

The value remaining after applicable exemptions, limitations and taxing-unit calculations.

STEP 3 Tax due

The amount connected to the account and year after tax rates, payments, credits, penalties and collection activity.

Do not calculate the bill from market value alone. The amount depends on property type, taxable value, exemptions, taxing units, adopted rates, prior payments, penalties and collection status.
Martin CAD determines property values and administers exemptions and special valuations. Local governing bodies adopt tax rates. The county Tax Assessor-Collector does not determine property values or tax rates.
Critical 2026 update

Confirm Martin County payment instructions before mailing or paying

Martin CAD’s official news announcement states that Marsha Graves retired on December 31, 2025. Effective January 1, 2026, payments previously made to her must instead be made to Martin CAD. Payments received with the former collector after January 15, 2026 were to be returned.

Do not use an old cheque payee, envelope, payment address or saved collector contact. Start from the official Martin CAD website and confirm the current instructions for the exact account and year.
Search the correct property account Confirm the property ID, Geo ID, owner, property type and tax year.
Use the tax-due filter Select “Show only Properties with Tax Due” when reviewing unpaid accounts.
Open the full result Compare the account, owner, legal description, taxing units and base tax due.
Verify the current payee and destination Confirm whether the payment should be submitted online, in person or by mail and whether one payment covers all displayed entities.
Ask for a current payoff when delinquent The database may not reflect a same-day payoff, collection cost or recently processed payment.
Save proof of payment Keep the receipt, cheque image, postal tracking, confirmation number, account, tax year and payment date.
Recheck the property account Confirm that the payment posted to the correct property, interest and tax year.
Old bill or envelope

Do not assume the old payee or mailing instructions remain valid in 2026.

Returned payment

Call Martin CAD with the account, amount, payment date and returned envelope or cheque details.

Recent payment not posted

Prepare the receipt or bank evidence and ask which account and year received the payment.

Verify current Martin CAD payment instructions Read official Martin CAD news
Collection routing

Check whether Martin CAD collects for the taxing unit on your account

Martin CAD’s official website labels several taxing authorities as “We Collect.” Other active taxing units may appear in the county but are not labelled the same way on the CAD collection list.

Collection status shown on the Martin CAD website
Taxing authority Status shown by Martin CAD What to do before paying
Martin County We Collect Confirm the property, year, amount and current Martin CAD payment instructions.
City of Stanton We Collect Verify that the city appears on the selected account and tax year.
Grady ISD We Collect Match the school-district account and tax year before submitting payment.
Stanton ISD We Collect Review exemptions, taxable value and the current balance.
Sands CISD We Collect Confirm that the property lies in the listed school district.
Permian Basin Underground Water District We Collect Check whether the unit appears on the account before including payment.
Martin County Fresh Water District We Collect Verify the district, year and amount shown in the property result.
Martin County Hospital District We Collect Confirm the tax year and current balance through Martin CAD.
City of Midland portion in Martin County Not labelled “We Collect” on the CAD list Ask which collecting office controls the displayed account before paying.
Klondike ISD Not labelled “We Collect” on the CAD list Verify the current collector through the account, taxing unit or Tax Assessor-Collector.
Collection responsibility can differ by taxing unit. Do not assume one payment destination applies to every authority merely because all units appear on the same appraisal account.

Open Martin CAD forms Open Texas Comptroller forms
Agricultural and wildlife appraisal

Review Martin County land use before applying for productivity appraisal

Agricultural appraisal generally values qualifying land according to productivity rather than ordinary market value. Rural ownership, vacant land or an agricultural address does not automatically establish qualification.

Qualifying use

Document the actual agricultural activity and whether it meets local degree-of-intensity expectations.

Use history

Prepare the number of years, acreage and continuity of the qualifying agricultural use.

Production evidence

Keep livestock, crop, grazing, lease, expense, sale, photograph and management records.

Market versus productivity value

Review both values on the appraisal account rather than assuming the lower figure is market value.

Mineral activity

Surface agricultural use and separately owned mineral interests can create different accounts and valuation questions.

Change of use

Changing qualified land to a non-qualifying use may create additional-tax consequences.

A buyer should not assume the seller’s agricultural appraisal will automatically continue. Confirm the application, qualifying-use history, intended future use and possible additional-tax exposure before closing.
Renditions and special inventory

Prepare Martin County business, industrial and dealer inventory filings

Match the filing to the account type and business activity
Situation Records to prepare Common mistake
General business personal property Furniture, fixtures, computers, equipment, machinery, vehicles, inventory and original-cost records Searching only the real-estate account
Oil-field equipment Equipment lists, location, acquisition year, cost, condition, ownership and lease information Confusing mineral interests with taxable equipment
Industrial or utility property Asset schedules, situs, category, agent, appraisal correspondence and supporting valuation records Using ordinary residential comparable sales
Special inventory Dealer declaration, monthly sales statements, inventory records and confidential supporting schedules Missing monthly reporting requirements
Closed or sold business Sale, disposal, closure, lease termination and asset-removal evidence Assuming the account will close automatically
The normal Texas rendition deadline is generally April 15. Review current extension procedures and the deadline shown by Martin CAD before filing.
Online and written protest

File a Martin CAD protest without losing the online option

Martin CAD publishes an important online-protest warning: if you first come to the appraisal district, call and initiate an inquiry, or send a protest by mail, you may no longer be able to use the online protest option for that account.
